R108:39798bffb139: [plastik] Disable problematic text hints

Summary

Use of "style: Text.Raised" combined with UTF-8 emoji characters
currently crashes deep in font rendering code.

A report has been submitted upstream:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-82311

Given this crash is surprisingly common, this patch removes the text
shadow. I normally would be against it, but this was a subtle effect
anyway and frankly just made things look blurry. I doubt it'll be missed.

BUG: 417699
BUG: 413179

Test Plan

Made unit test for the crash in qmlscene
Fixed the issue there
