QFontDatabase is a singleton and all instances would share
a single, mutex-protected global data pointer. But some functions
were implemented as non-static functions. This caused a lot
of code on the form
QFontDatabase().families(...)
since there was no static access. Other functions were implemented
as static.
To consolidate, we make all functions static. This should be
source-compatible, but not binary compatible.
[ChangeLog][QtGui][Fonts] Some functions in QFontDatabase were in
principle static, but previously not implemented as such. All
member functions have now been made static, so that constructing
objects of QFontDatabase is no longer necessary to access certain
functionality.
