Refactors feaLib, moving code which builds OpenType lookups into otlLib. Note that this changes feaLib's concept of `location` from a tuple to an object.
This allows for more than one "lookup ..." chaining statements at each glyph position in a chaining contextual substitution or positioning rule: e.g.
sub a b c' lookup lookup1 lookup lookup2 d;
The corresponding change in the Adobe OpenType Feature File Specification (and implementation in makeotf) happened in adobe-type-tools/afdko#1132.
Support was added in db49f20d6b2629e1ba25c4afd3fb60817387f3d6, but there
was only a parser test and no builder test, fix the build and add a
builder test based on the existing parser one.

Raise if lookup_index is None, which would happen only of the lookup
referenced belongs to the wrong table. The error message needs to be less
cryptic, though.

This checks that glyph names that appear in a feature file are actually
in the glyph set provided in glyphNames. If the set is empty, no check
is done. This preempts a KeyError later during saving of a TTFont object
and makes this case much more easily catchable.
Closes#1723.
Allow for making more lookups support subtabe breaks. Although AFDKO’s
makeotf supports subtable breaks only in pair pos lookups, I believe
that is an implementation limit that we don’t have to follow; all
OpenType lookups has subtables and it should be possible to code that in
the feature files.
ufo2ft feature writer calls feaLib builder with tables=[GSUB] first, to run closure
over glyph substitutions; if the GSUB features contains 'featureNames' blocks, then
an AssertionError will be raised; in this case, we can simply skip building the
FeatureParams tables as we haven't build the name records they point to.
This would make it easier to construct feaLib AST from code,
where the location is not defined and thus should be None.
Also, we can make other arguments as kwargs with a default
value, now that the first parameter is no longer 'location'.
`tables=None` by default will build all supported tables;
To build only some of these and ignore the others, one can pass a
subset of supported tables tags: .e.g. `tables={'GSUB'}` will only
build the GSUB, even if the feature file may contain e.g. GPOS
related features.
... instead of a glyphMap dict.
The parser does not actually need a reverse glyph order mapping as
it is not interested in knowing the glyphID from the glyph name,
but only whether a glyph is in the font or not.
This makes it easier for client code (e.g. ufo2ft feature compiler)
to use the feaLib Parser, without having to first construct and pass
it a glyphMap argument.
