When reduce() receives an empty sequence, it raises TypeError, unless it is given a third 'initializer' argument
ValueFormat values should default to 0, so we shall use that as initializer.
Also, the reduce() built-in is no longer available on Python 3.
It's still accessible for both py2 and py3 from functools.

Also fixes issues with merging of PairPos.
Trying on Noto Sans Thai still fails, now because of issues in class differences in
PairPosFormat2. :( Investigating.
This is part of fixing https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/issues/719
though, the changes are currently in interpolate_layout, and need to be ported /
merged with varLib.__init__ variation-font-builder.
The convention is that sys.exit(...) is called only if a module is run as a script,
and that main() entry points use return statements to report exit codes: 0 (or None)
for successful execution, or any non-zero integer for errors.
E.g. see the console scripts generated when installing with pip.
