Create fallback fonts as needed.

Zachary Travis requested to merge ztravis/poppler:feature/annotation-fallback-fonts into master

If a PDF form field value uses a font that is not in the resources dictionary, a warning is logged and the field value is ignored/not displayed. It's unclear whether this behavior is strictly valid based on the PDF spec (since typically font references, even to base fonts, require a corresponding font dictionary) but Acrobat seems to display the content anyway.

I'm attaching an example PDF I made from some public form. SampleForm-1.pdf

This is a suggested fix using the createAnnotDrawFont functionality already present in Annot.cc for making standard fonts. I am not very experienced with this codebase so I'm sure I may be making some mistakes!
