The numbers for right-to-left scripts are processed also from right to
left, so the order of applying “numr” and “dnom” features should be
reversed in such case.

New approach to fix this:

Previous approach was reverted as it was too broad. See context:

With U+05E9,U+05B8,U+05C1,U+05DC and Arial Unicode, we now (correctly) disable
GDEF and GPOS, so we get results very close to Uniscribe, but slightly different
since our fallback position logic is not exactly the same:
Before: [gid1166=3+991|gid1142=0+737|gid5798=0+1434]
After: [gid1166=3+991|gid1142=0@402,-26+0|gid5798=0+1434]
Uniscribe: [gid1166=3+991|gid1142=0@348,0+0|gid5798=0+1434]
Previously we only synthesized GDEF glyph classes if the glyphClassDef
array in GDEF was null. This worked well enough, and is indeed what
OpenType requires: "If the font does not include a GlyphClassDef table,
the client must define and maintain this information when using the
GSUB and GPOS tables." That sentence does not quite make sense since
one needs Unicode properties as well, but is close enough.
However, looks like Arial Unicode as shipped on WinXP, does have GDEF
glyph class array, but defines no classes for Hebrew. This results
in Hebrew marks not getting their widths zeroed. So, with this change,
we synthesize glyph class for any glyph that is not specified in the
GDEF glyph class table. Since, from our point of view, a glyph not
being listed in that table is a font bug, any unwanted consequence of
this change is a font bug :).
Note that we still don't get the same rendering as Uniscribe, since
Uniscribe seems to do fallback positioning as well, even though the
font does have a GPOS table (which does NOT cover Hebrew!). We are
not going to try to match that though.
Test string for Arial Unicode:
U+05E9,U+05B8,U+05C1,U+05DC
Before: [gid1166=3+991|gid1142=0+737|gid5798=0+1434]
After: [gid1166=3+991|gid1142=0+0|gid5798=0+1434]
Uniscribe: [gid1166=3+991|gid1142=0@348,0+0|gid5798=0+1434]
Note that our new output matches what we were generating until July
2014, because the Hebrew shaper used to zero mark advances based on
Unicode, NOT GDEF. That's 9e834e29e0.

New API:
- hb_font_get_nominal_glyph_func_t
- hb_font_get_variation_glyph_func_t
- hb_font_funcs_set_nominal_glyph_func()
- hb_font_funcs_set_variation_glyph_func()
- hb_font_get_nominal_glyph()
- hb_font_get_variation_glyph()
Deprecated API:
- hb_font_get_glyph_func_t
- hb_font_funcs_set_glyph_func()
Clients that implement their own font-funcs are encouraged to replace
their get_glyph() implementation with a get_nominal_glyph() and
get_variation_glyph() pair. The variation version can assume that
variation_selector argument is not zero.
This better emulates Unicode grapheme clusters.
Note that Uniscribe does NOT do this, but should be harmless with most clients,
and improve fallback with clients that use HarfBuzz cluster as unit of fallback.

This was brorken earlier, though, it's really hard to notice it.
Unlike the glyph_h_origin(), an unset glyph_v_origin() does NOT
mean that the vertical origin is at 0,0.
