Previously, when TTX was run in verbose mode, the messages printed to the console would also show the time
each one was logged -- e.g. "blah blah (15:23:24)" -- using the 'debugmsg' function which is defined here.
Even though the logging package would allow to do the same thing (via 'datefmt' and "%(asctime)s"), I decided
drop this, as I think it's not very interesting...
I'll replace it with the overall elapsed time in seconds, in a follow-up commit.
Before this change, feaLib had assigned a lookup index at the same
time as compiling each lookup. For chains, the implicit assumption was
that the chain's targets would always come before the contexual chain.
Normally this was indeed the case, but feaLib (and also makeotf)
sometimes merge several chain targets into one single lookup,
and then this assumption was not true anymore.
In the new version, the lookups get compiled in a separate pass,
after assigning lookup indices.

Ie, now we get:
...
assert 0 <= value < 0x10000, value
AssertionError: (None, 'LookupListIndex', 'SubstLookupRecord[0]', 'ChainContextSubst[1]', 'Lookup[3]', 'LookupList')
The common stacktrace like this:
File "fonttools/Lib/fontTools/ttLib/__init__.py", line 202, in save
self._writeTable(tag, writer, done)
File "fonttools/Lib/fontTools/ttLib/__init__.py", line 631, in _writeTable

File "fonttools/Lib/fontTools/ttLib/tables/otBase.py", line 457, in writeUShort
assert 0 <= value < 0x10000, value
AssertionError: None
now has this as the last line:
AssertionError: (None, 'LookupListIndex', 'SubstLookupRecord', 'ChainContextSubst', 'Lookup', 'LookupList')
which means a value of None was tried for writing a LookupListIndex from a ChainContextSubset...
It's a hack, but a very useful one.
