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.
