This was added by 9ff76c27b9 on
the basis that it signifies a shaping error and would later assert
or crash.
But the line is easily reachable by user code. If Harfbuzz returns
0 glyphs, it just means it is unable to shape the string, for instance
if the input string only contains default ignorables (like a ZWJ)
and does not have any appropriate glyph to use for replacement.
Qt expects there to always be at least one glyph in the output
(num_glyphs == 0 is used to indicate shaping is not yet done), so
to avoid asserts later on, we simply populate the output with a
single 0 token, which is a required entry in the font that is
reserved for representing unrepresentable characters.
This also adds a test and therefore a zero-width joiner to the test
font to reproduce the issue.
