This is like hb_script_t.
We had this exposed as unsigned int since 2.0.0 release in two APIs,
as well as hb_ot_layout_get_size_params() from earlier.
But since no one uses those (right?!), let's just fix this now.
This makes a lot of code safer. We only try modifying the object in one
place, after making sure it's safe to do so. So, do a const_cast<> in
that one place...
