Summary
Fix -Wlifetime-safety-permissive warning in FontRanges::glyphDataForCharacter()

Clang's lifetime safety warning detected a potential issue in FontRanges::glyphDataForCharacter(): ``` OpenSource/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/FontRanges.cpp:94:38: error: object whose reference is captured may not live long enough [-Werror,-Wlifetime-safety-strict] 94 | resultFont = font.get(); | ^~~~ OpenSource/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/FontRanges.cpp:104:13: note: destroyed here 104 | } | ^ OpenSource/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/FontRanges.cpp:93:26: note: later used here 93 | if (\!resultFont) | ^~~~~~~~~~ ``` Even though the code was safe (the Font is kept alive by the FontAccessor), the analyzer couldn't prove the lifetime relationship.

The fix changes `resultFont` from `const Font*` to `RefPtr<const Font>` to make the lifetime relationship explicit and eliminate the warning. Also uses `WTF::move(font)` to avoid ref count churn since `font` isn't used after that point in the `isInterstitial()` branch. No change in behavior, only compiler warning elimination.
