gfxFontCache currently requires all gfxFonts to be released before the
gGlobalCache is destroyed.

In bug 385263, other font caches (PangoFontMap and gfxPangoFontCache) will hold
references to gfxFonts, but these caches are currently shutdown during
destruction of gPlatform, which happens after shutdown of the gfxFontCache.
There are a few options here:

a) Add platform specific shutdown code to gfxPlatform.

b) Shutdown the gfxFontCache after gPlatform.

c) Make the gfxFonts more tolerant to shutdown of the gfxFontCache.
This is the simplest and looks like it should work.
I wonder whether we should do this for safety whatever.

This also makes gfxFont and gfxFontGroup constructors protected as these are
both abstract base classes.

Let's fix this compiler warning while here:

../../../dist/include/thebes/gfxFont.h: In constructor 'gfxFont::gfxFont(gfxFontEntry*, const gfxFontStyle*)':
../../../dist/include/thebes/gfxFont.h:652: warning: 'gfxFont::mStyle' will be initialized after
../../../dist/include/thebes/gfxFont.h:648: warning:   'nsRefPtr<gfxFontEntry> gfxFont::mFontEntry'
/home/karl/moz/dev/gfx/thebes/src/gfxFont.cpp:264: warning:   when initialized here

same as attachment 338048 [details] [diff] [review], but keep the |return 0| from the old code, rather than returning this->mRefCnt as |this| is sometimes already deleted.
