Closes #192.

This carries PR #200's change to gravitypdf. #200 was merged into its stacked base branch after that branch had already been squash-merged into gravitypdf, so its commits never reached gravitypdf and #192 stayed open. The commits are #200's own, replayed with git rebase --onto and patch-for-patch identical per git range-diff. See #200 for the full description, measurements and review.

OtlTags::script() walked the v2-to-original table from the run's own
entry to the end, so a v2 tag the font did not offer reached the
original tag of every script listed after it: Bengali was laid out with
a font's deva lookups and the original specification's reordering, but
Devanagari never reached beng. HarfBuzz asks for dev3, dev2 and deva for
Devanagari (hb_ot_all_tags_from_script) and then DFLT, dflt and latn
(hb_ot_layout_table_select_script), never another script's tag. The
walk is now one lookup of the run's own original tag.

NotoSansBengali-DevaScript-Synthetic makes it visible: a subset of Noto
Sans Bengali with its GSUB replaced by a DFLT and a deva script, each
with a 'locl' lookup giving KA a different glyph. KA drew deva's KHA; it
now draws DFLT's GA, as hb-shape does.

One existing fixture moves. NotoSansGurmukhiUI-GPOS71-Subset offers
only gur2 and guru, so the golden master's Devanagari and Bengali runs
used to reach guru and be reordered to the original specification. They
now find no script and are left unshaped, as a run is in any font with
no entry for its script. The font has no glyph for either run.

Test font: NotoSansBengali-DevaScript-Synthetic (Noto Sans Bengali
3.011, OFL 1.1), built in fontTools 4.59.2.
