macOS: Don't marshal app font data via URL when using FreeType font engine

Font descriptors can have attached attributes of any kind, not just pre-
defined constants like kCTFontURLAttribute. We take advantage of this and
attach the font data that was passed into addApplicationFont() to the
font descriptor, so we can read it out directly when later creating an
engine for it. This removes the need to build up a URL to represent the
font data, which also didn't work for the memory-font use-case. The
FreeType font engine now passes the same tst_QFontDatabase tests on
macOS as the native CoreText font engine.

This also fixes the leak caused by CTFontCreateWithGraphicsFont never
releasing the graphics font, resulting in releaseFontData never being
called:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40805382/

We're now cleaning up the font data in releaseHandle, based on the
attribute set on the font descriptor.
