Address issues raised in #1403
I do think setting the dummy CFF2 PrivateDict nominalWidthX and defaultWidthX to None, which leads to the charstring.width also being None, is a good idea. I originally set them to 0, which produces a charstring width of 0, in order to avoid problems with logic that assumes that the field is good for math. However, I now think that it is better to find errors around charstring type assumptions earlier than later.
"drop_hints()" is actually not wrong - I did look at this when making the changes. For CFF2 charstrings, self.width is always equal to self.private.defaultWidthX, so the width is never inserted. This is because in psCharstrings.py::T2WidthExtractor.popallWidth(), the test "evenOdd ^ (len(args) % 2)" is alway False. Left to myself, I would not change this code. If the CFF2 charstring is correct, there is not a problem. if the CFF2 charstring is not correct, then both in drop_hints() and in T2WidthExtractor.popallWidth(), the logic will stack dump. I did add asserts, but am not totally sure it is worth the extra calls.
Fixed psCharstrings so that calc_bounds will run. I would guess no-one has tried to use a BoundsPen on a CFF2 VF before - thanks to Chris Chapman. It now returns a result only for the default instance.
Fixed bug in subsetting: removed assert that a Subr is not empty after subsetting or de-hinting. CFF2 Charstrings do not have terminal "return' op.
Removed check_program functions. Supporting these requires knowledge of CFF vs CFF2 state, whci is leads to wide-spread diffuse changes. Also, not needed - the endchar/return opcodes are removed when compiling for CFF2.
Removed CFF2Subr class. This was used for CFF2 CharStrings, and allowed avoiding referencing the width fields. I worked around this by providing dummy values for the Private.nominalWidthX and defaultWidthX.
Added a public method PrivateDict.in_cff2.
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.
Added interpolation of glyph advance width, from HVAR/hmtx, and derivation of new LSB.
Updated tests to match.
Needed to cherrypick from another branch an update for psCharstrings to allow the CFFSubr.draw() method to work.
varStore.py. Commit the correct function references.
psCharstrings.py. Add decompiler class specifically for flattening subroutinized charstrings.
mutator.py. Flatten the subroutinized charstrings, delete the Subrs.
TestCFF2VF.otf, Updated to version with subroutinization. Updated expected ttx output.
varLib.py. restore import of 'fontTools.misc.py23 import *'
varStore.py. Rename 'applyScalar' to 'interpolateFromDeltasAndScalars', and refactor common code with __git__item to a static method.
mutator.py. Update to reflect function name change to interpolateFromDeltasAndScalars. Changed some logic from one line to several lines for readability, and i to avoid flake8 warnings about line too long.
