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.
Micro-test added. Test: U+0D2F,0D4D,0D30 with font from:

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.
