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.

Right now we cannot test this because it has to be tested using hb-fuzzer.
We should move all fuzzing tests from test/shaping/tests/fuzzed.tests to
test/fuzzing/ and have its own test runner. At that point, should add
test from this issue as well.
This is what Microsoft's implementation does. Marks that need advance
need to add it back using 'dist' or other feature in GPOS. Update tests to
match.

What happens in that bug is that a mark is attached to base first,
then a second mark is cursive-chained to the first mark. This only
"works" because it's in the Indic shaper where mark advances are
not zeroed.
Before, we didn't allow cursive to run on marks at all. Fix that.
We also where updating mark major offsets at the end of GPOS, such
that changes in advance of base will not change the mark attachment
position. That was superior to the alternative (which is what Uniscribe
does BTW), but made it hard to apply cursive to the mark after it
was positioned. We could track major-direction offset changes and
apply that to cursive in the post process, but that's a much trickier
thing to do than the fix here, which is to immediately apply the
major-direction advance-width offsets... Ie.:
https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/211#issuecomment-183194739
If this breaks any fonts, the font should be fixed to do mark attachment
after all the advances are set up first (kerning, etc).
Finally, this, still doesn't make us match Uniscribe, for I explained
in that bug. Looks like Uniscribe applies minor-direction cursive
adjustment immediate as well. We don't, and we like it our way, at
least for now. Eg. the sequence in the test case does this:
- The first subscript attaches with mark-to-base, moving in x only,
- The second subscript attaches with cursive attachment to first subscript
moving in x only,
- A final context rule moves the first subscript up by 104 units.
The way we do, the final shift-up, also shifts up the second subscript
mark because it's cursively-attached. Uniscribe doesn't. We get:
[ttaorya=0+1307|casubscriptorya=0@-242,104+-231|casubscriptnarroworya=0@20,104+507]
while Uniscribe gets:
[ttaorya=0+1307|casubscriptorya=0@-242,104+-211|casubscriptnarroworya=0+487]
note the different y-offset of the last glyph. In our view, after cursive,
things move together, period.
Add into the NMake Makefiles to build the DirectWrite shaping backend,
but as PR #134 mentions, this is considered to be in an experimental state,
so don't include this in the build by default for now. This is most probably
going to replace the Uniscribe backend eventually, since DirectWrite is meant
to be Uniscribe's replacement, and is needed for Windows Store apps if a
system shaping API is to be used.
