We implicitly require it for building ragel subproject. This new version
requirement should satisfied in both Fedora 33 and Debian bullseye, and
not be too cutting edge for us.

Not all impls implement nullptr_t in a way that would automatically
convert to what we were accepting.

This line had me confused for a second because
the condition looked like a cast and the if just
looked misplaced. Add a line break to prevent
such confusion.
Though the spec said FeatureRecords are sorted alphabetically by feature
tag, there're font files with unsorted FeatureList. And harfbuzz is not
able to subset these files correctly because we use binary search in
finding featureRecords when collecting lookups. Also
find_duplicate_features needs to be updated to handle this.
In Windows 7 on Chrome if the coverage table comes before any of the LigatureSet or Ligature subtables the font won't load. This changes the packing order to always place the Coverage table last. Virtual links are used to ensure the repacker maintains the desired ordering.
Coincidentally fontTools also does the same thing (a3f988fbf6/Lib/fontTools/ttLib/tables/otTables.py (L1137)) to reduce overflows during packing.
