The boring expansion (https://github.com/be-fonts/boring-expansion-spec) plans to introduce 24bit offsets into GSUB/GPOS. This changes the repacker to treat 24 bit offsets similar to 32 bit offsets and assign the top level 24 bit offsets into spaces to improve packing.
In HVAR/VVAR, if the side-bearing mappings are null, it means the
table does not have them and they should be loaded from glyf table.
Previous logic was returning zer0.

(where in frame #4 GenericSalLayout::LayoutText, pHbBuffer->props.direction is
HB_DIRECTION_RTL, in case that is relevant).
It is unclear to me whether it is sufficient to only change
hb_graphite2_cluster_t::advance from signed to unsigned int, as there are other
unsigned int variables (like curradv in _hb_graphite2_shape) whose value depend
on hb_graphite2_cluster_t::advance, and which thus might also become negative.
But unlike the float -> unsigned int conversion that UBSan warned about here
(where gr_slot_origin_X() and xscale are float), those are signed int ->
unsigned int conversions that do not cause undefined behavior. At least, with
this change, the above --convert-to pdf and a full `make check screenshot`
succeeded for me under without further UBSan warnings.
(For the version of HarfBuzz optionally built as part of the LibreOffice build,
this has been addressed with
<https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/6e53e03f752c2f85283c4d47efaaf0683299783c%5E!/>
"external/harfbuzz: hb_graphite2_cluster_t::advance can apparently be
negative.")
