Before, we were marking them as below-form for initial reordering.
However, there is a rule that says "post consonants should follow
below consonsnts" for base determination purposes. Malayalam has
port-form YA/VA, and RA is pre-base. As such, for a sequence like
YA,Virama,YA,Virama,RA, the correct base is at index 0. But
because the code was seeing RA as a below-base, it was stopping at
the second YA as base, instead of jumping it as a post-base.
By treating prebase-reordering consonants like post-forms, this
is fixed.
MALAYALAM went down from 351 to 265. Other numbers didn't change:

Such fonts are *definitely* really broken. Give up.
Limits time spent in sanitize for extremely / deliberately broken
fonts. For example, two fonts with these md5sum / names:
9343f0a1b8c84b8123e7d201cae62ffd.ttf
eb8c978547f09d368fc204194fb34688.ttf
were spending over a second in sanitize! Not anymore.
This fixes a design bug with sanitize and sub-blobs that can
cause crashes. Jonathan and I found and debugged this issue
when we tested a corrupt font with the md5sum / filename:
ea395483d37af0cb933f40689ff7b60a. Two hours of intense
debugging we found out that the font has overlapping GSUB/GPOS
tables, and as such, sanitizing the second table can modify
the first one, which can cause all kinds of undefined behavior.
The correct way to fix this is to make sure sub-blobs are
always created readonly, since we consider the parent blob
to be a shared resource and can't modify it, even if it *is*
writable.
This essentially makes the READONLY_MAY_MAKE_WRITABLE mode
unused... Maybe we should simply remove / deprecate it.
When a match_func was not set on the matcher_t object (ie. from GPOS),
then the Default_Ignorables (including joiners) were never skipped.
This meant that they were not skipped as they should during GPOS
matching. Fix that.
A few Indic numbers have "regressed": BENGALI and DEVANAGARI went
up from 290 and 58 respectively, but in both cases new results are
superior to Uniscribe, as they apply GPOS when we weren't (and
Uniscribe isn't) before.

The code was confused because it was expecting left matra to have
POS_PRE_M, like we do in the Myanmar shaper, but that is not what
we were doing in this shaper. Rewrite to rely on category only.
Test case: U+AA06,U+AA34,U+AA2F
Before, if one called hb_shape() without setting script, language, and
direction on the buffer, hb_shape() was calling
hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the user's behalf to guess
these.
This is very dangerous, since any serious user of HarfBuzz must set
these properly (specially important is direction). So now, we don't
guess properties by default. People not setting direction will get
an abort() now. If the old behavior is desired (fragile, good for
simple testing only), users can call
hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the buffer just before calling
hb_shape().
Surprisingly, if user ever tried to turn a default feature off partially
(say, disable liga for a range), the feature was being turned off
globally! Fixed now.
Originally we meant to match backtrack/lookahead across syllable
boundaries. But a bug in the code meant that this was NOT done for
backtrack. We "fixed" that in 2c7d0b6b80,
but that broke Myanmar shaping.
We now believe that for Indic-like shapers (which is where syllables are
used), all basic shaping forms should be fully contained within their
syllables, so now we limit backtrack/lookahead matching to the syllable
too. Unbreaks Myanmar.
