Valgrind warns about the jump in qfontconfigdatabase.cpp:522 based on
uint QFondDef::hintingPreference:2 property. Surprising thing is that
the property is initialized in the default constructor, so there should
not be an issue.

The warning disappear if the property is _not_ placed on a boundary of a
two words, or if bit field is fully initialized. So I suspect that only
one bit of the two was initialized properly.

I decide to implement both solutions because of a potential minor
performance improvement, during reading the property.

I still fail to say why the value was uninitialized, I believe that this
patch simply workarounds gcc bug or valgrind bug.
