We only needed tableStack to look back for counts. So, just store
counts. Gives ~8 speedup for large fonts I tested. We are not
faster than not loading fonts lazily without this patch, so the
laziness patch combined with this doesn't have a net negative
performance impact anymore.
Huge win for subsetter and anyone else who doesn't need the entire
tables. Subsetting a huge font (eg. NotoSans-Regular.ttf) to a
small set (say, main Cyrillic characters) is something like six
times faster now. Bulk of time was being spent in blowing up the
GPOS kerning pairs and attach points. Now we don't load those if
they won't be in the final subset.
Slight slowdown for usecases that need the entire table.

# support virtual GIDs, support handling some GSUB offset overflows.

# 1) make getReverseGlyphMap a public function; I find a reverse map
to often be useful
# 2) support virtual glyphs, e.g. references to GID's that are not in the font.
# Added the TTFont argument allowVID (default 0) to turn this off and on;
# added the arg requireReal ( default 0) so as to get the obvious
default behaviour when
# allowVID is 0 or 1, but to allow requiring a true GID when allowVID is 1.

# 1) speed optimization
# - collapse for loops
# - do not decompile extension lookups until a record is requested
from within the lookup.
# 2) handling offset overflows
# 3) support of extension lookups
# 4) Fixed FetauresParam converter class def so as to survive a font
that has this offset non-NULL.
# This fixes a stack dump.
# The data will now just get ignored
