Over time we have had added NO_HINTING all over the place in hb-ft. Finish it off.
Not setting ppem on hb-font disables get_contour_point() calls which is good anyway.
See comments in the commit.
When I originally wrote hb-ft, FreeType objects did not support reference
counting. As such, hb_ft_face_create() and hb_ft_font_create() had a
"destroy" callback and client was responsible for making sure FT_Face is
kept around as long as the hb-font/face are alive.
However, since this was not clearly documented, some clienets didn't
correctly did that. In particular, some clients assumed that it's safe
to destroy FT_Face and then hb_face_t. This, indeed, used to work, until
45fd9424c7, which make face destroy access
font tables.
Now, I fixed that issue in 395b35903e since
the access was not needed, but the problem remains that not all clients
handle this correctly. See:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86300
Fortunately, FT_Reference_Face() was added to FreeType in 2010, and so we
can use it now. Originally I wanted to change hb_ft_face_create() and
hb_ft_font_create() to reference the face if destroy==NULL was passed in.
That would improve pretty much all clients, with little undesired effects.
Except that FreeType itself, when compiled with HarfBuzz support, calls
hb_ft_font_create() with destroy==NULL and saves the resulting hb-font on
the ft-face (why does it not free it immediately?). Making hb-face
reference ft-face causes a cycling reference there. At least, that's my
current understanding.
At any rate, a cleaner approach, even if it means all clients will need a
change, is to introduce brand new API. Which this commit does.
Some comments added to hb-ft.h, hoping to make future clients make better
choices.

Based on discussion someone else who had a similar issue, most probably
the user is releasing FT_Face before destructing hb_face_t / hb_font_t.
While that's a client bug, and while we can (and should) use FreeType
refcounting to help avoid that, it happens that we were accessing
the table when we didn't really have to. Avoid that.
Fail if blob start plus length overflows; or if blob length
is greater than 2GB. It takes a while for fonts to get to that
size. In the mean time, it protects against bugs like this:
http://www.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/11450
Also avoids some weird issues with 32bit vs 64bit systems
as we accept length as unsigned int. As such, a length of
-1 will cause overflow on 32bit machines, but happily
accepted on a 64bit machine. Avoid that.
In Oriya, a ZWJ/ZWNJ might be added before candrabindu to encourage
or stop ligation of the candrabindu. This is clearly specified in
the Unicode section on Oriya. Allow it there. Note that Uniscribe
doesn't allow this.
Micro tests added using Noto Sans Oriya draft.

Otherwise, we might process a lookup thousands of times, with no
benefit. This pathological case was hit by Noto Nastaliq Urdu Draft
