    Description

      Get rid of the old harfbuzz in Qt 6.0.

      We should always use harfbuzz-ng for open type processing. The old harfbuzz is still used by QTextBoundaryFinder for text segmentation. The required code (a very small part of harfbuzz) has been written by me (Lars) ~10 years ago and has a Qt Company copyright, so we can simply pull it out of harfbuzz and back into Qt Core/QTBF.
