Subject: [PATCH] fontconfig: mark _FcPatternIter as may_alias

We had a report of GCC 14 with -O3 -flto causing wrong font
sizes with fontconfig (showing up in qalculate-gtk).

It turns out to be because _FcPatternIter and _FcPatternPrivateIter
are punned between which violates strict-aliasing rules, which
manifested in FcDefaultSubstitute getting a bogus value from
FcValueCanonicalize for size.

void* isn't allowed to alias anything -- you can pass addresses
around provided you cast back to the original type, but if you
access through the wrong type, you've violated aliasing rules.
