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.

Not sure if empty ComponentRecords can be optimized away.
For the time being, leaving the output unchanged so that
the refactoring has no effect on the generated files.
No changes in the compiled binary representation, this just affects XML.
After this change, the XML for empty ValueRecords is identical to the
output from makeotf.

In f0eb7e98ca0642f17ac82433db8c957fffd6a9d3, the various subclasses
of otTables.ClassDef were merged into one single class. Therefore,
we can now always instantiate otTables.ClassDef() which is simpler.
In f0eb7e98ca0642f17ac82433db8c957fffd6a9d3, the various subclasses
of otTables.Coverage were merged into one single class. Therefore,
we can now always instantiate otTables.Coverage() which is simpler.
Make the output of otlLib.buildLigatureSubst() deterministic.
Before this change, otlLib ligatures were emitted in a non-deterministic
sorting order (depending on what hash value Python would give
to a string tuple).
After b4919b6c0a5ea0ca6747fe7699554e8a14d1f77f, the tests were
named correctly but they always used the exact same feature file,
irrespective of what file they were supposed to test.

On Windows, some Python versions format "Jan 01" while others
format "Jan 1"; this caused test failures on the build farm.
By using a date without leading zeros (2011-12-13), we can
work around this.

Before this change, feaLib did not handle feature files that specified
`feature aalt` whose block just was referring to other features without
defining any lookups on its own. After this change, we can handle it.
