New header file:

And a bunch of prototyped but not implemented stuff. Coming soon.
(Tests fail because of the prototypes right now.)
We need the font for glyph lookup during GSUB pauses in Indic shaper.
Could perhaps be avoided, but at this point, we don't mean to support
separate substitute()/position() entry points (anymore), so there is
no point in not providing the font to GSUB.
Gives me a good 10% speedup for the Devanagari test case. Less so
for less lookup-intensive tests.
For the Devanagari test case, the false positive rate of the GSUB digest
is 4%.
If there is no GPOS, zero mark advances.
If there *is* GPOS and the shaper requests so, zero mark advances for
attached marks.
Fixes regression with Tibetan, where the font has GPOS, and marks a
glyph as mark where it shouldn't get zero advance.
Patch and description from Jonathan Kew:
It turns out that some legacy Thai fonts provide OpenType substitution
features to implement mark positioning, but (incorrectly) put those
features/lookups under the 'latn' script tag instead of using 'thai' (or
possibly 'DFLT'). See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719366 for an example and
more detailed description.
Although this is really a font bug, I suggest that we could improve the
rendering of such fonts by looking for the 'latn' as a fallback if
neither the requested script nor "default" is found in
hb_ot_layout_table_choose_script. Suggested patch against harfbuzz
master is attached.
This does _not_ affect the other kind of legacy Thai font, where custom
code to support vendor-specific PUA codepoints would be needed. I'm not
keen to go down that path; IMO, such fonts should be ruthlessly stamped
out in favour of standards-based solutions. :)

I've messed up a lot of stuff recently, different parts of the
shaping process are stumbling on eachother's toes because
manually tracking what's in which buffer var is hard. I'm
going to add some internal API to track those such that mistakes
are discovered as soon as they are introduced.
