This allows to drop an axis (aka L1 instancing) without knowing the
axis' actual default value from fvar table. One can simply call
`instantiateVariableFont` function with a `None` value for a given
axis (i.e. axis_limits={'wght': None}); the `None` value is replaced
by the axis default value as per fvar table.
The same can be done from the console script as well.
The special string literal 'None' is parsed as the Python `None`
object. E.g.:
$ fonttools varLib.instancer MyFont-VF.ttf wght=None
