Also remove shaper_options argument to hb_shape_full(). That was
unused and for "future". Let it go.
More shaper API coming in preparation for plan/planned API.
Users should #include <hb.h> (or hb-ft.h, hb-glib.h, etc), but
never things like hb-shape.h directly. This makes it easier to
refactor headers later on without breaking compatibility.
hb_shape() now accepts a shaper_options and a shaper_list argument.
Both can be set to NULL to emulate previous API. And in most situations
they are expected to be set to NULL.
hb_shape() also returns a boolean for now. If shaper_list is NULL, the
return value can be ignored.
shaper_options is ignored for now, but otherwise it should be a
NULL-terminated list of strings.
shaper_list is a NULL-terminated list of strings. Currently recognized
strings are "ot" for native OpenType Layout implementation, "uniscribe"
for the Uniscribe backend, and "fallback" for the non-complex backend
(that will be implemented shortly). The fallback backend never fails.
The env var HB_SHAPER_LIST is also parsed and honored. It's a
colon-separated list of shaper names. The fallback shaper is invoked if
none of the env-listed shapers succeed.
New API hb_buffer_guess_properties() added.
