Note UI change : `fonttools varLib.models` now takes prefixed options `-d` or `-l` instead of guessing the intended feature from the number of arguments.
We have a number of command line tools which are somewhat opaque. (varLib.models in particular was very confusing.) This ensures that they all use argparse to have a consistent interface, and all have --help documentation which at least details their parameters, and hopefully therefore gives more of a clue about what they do. Those which use logging have had a command-line logging parameter added.
This adds a `help` verb (and `--help` option) to the `fonttools` command line tool. Submodules will be listed in the help text if they have an importable `main` function with a docstring, and `main`'s docstring will be used as the one-line description for the help text.
It is useful to re-order the CFF2 master font list to match the sorted location order, but doing so means touching internal fields of the model, so we'll move this into the VariationModel class.

I place it here since it is also used by varLib.mutator, so makes sense
to have a public function
Oops. Was introduced when I last changed modeling.
The problem was, for checking that a previous master m is outside the current
influence box of the current master, I was doing "not (lower < m[loc] < upper)".
This is wrong, where lower,peak,upper is the support of previous master.
This fails if lower == peak == m[loc], or m[loc] == peak == upper.
