Originally we fixed those in 79d1007a50.
However, fonts like MongolianWhite don't have GDEF, but have IgnoreMarks
in their LigatureSubstitute init/etc features. We were synthesizing a
GDEF class of mark for Mongolian Variation Selectors and as such the
ligature lookups where not matching. Uniscribe doesn't do that.
I tried with more sophisticated fixes, like, if there is no GDEF and
a lookup-flag mismatch happens, instead of rejecting a match, try
skipping that glyph. That surely produces some interesting behavior,
but since we don't want to support fonts missing GDEF more than we have
to, I went for this simpler fix which is to always mark
default-ignorables as base when synthesizing GDEF.
Micro-test added.

If pre-base reordering Ra is NOT formed (or formed and then
broken up), we should consider that Ra as base. This is
observable when there's a left matra or dotreph that positions
before base.
Now, it might be that we shouldn't do this if the Ra happend
to form a below form. We can't quite deduce that right now...

Normally if you want to, say, conditionally prevent a 'pref', you
would use blocking contextual matching. Some designers instead
form the 'pref' form, then undo it in context. To detect that
we now also remember glyphs that went through MultipleSubst.
In the only place that this is used, Uniscribe seems to only care
about the "last" transformation between Ligature and Multiple
substitions. Ie. if you ligate, expand, and ligate again, it
moves the pref, but if you ligate and expand it doesn't. That's
why we clear the MULTIPLIED bit when setting LIGATED.

The new test suite runs tests included under
hb/test/shaping/tests/*.tests, which themselves reference
font files stored by sha1sum under hb/test/shaping/fonts/sha1sum.
The fonts are produced using a subsetter to only include glyphs
needed to run the test.
Four initial tests are added for (Chain)Context matching,
of which three currently fail.
