Shape text as HarfBuzz does, from a symbol file, checked against HarfBuzz

The build tool compiles a font's shaping plans the way HarfBuzz's planner
does (features, stages, masks, lookups per script and direction) and
carries them with the font's character map, advances and GDEF, GSUB and
GPOS tables in a section of the symbol file (VEGASYM4); glyphs shaping
reaches become symbols of their own. A small engine ports HarfBuzz 10's
default, Arabic and Hebrew shaping step for step and reads the tables in
place, every read bounds-checked. The build refuses a file whose shaping
differs from HarfBuzz's on random runs: DejaVu Sans agrees on 600,000
runs in six scripts both ways, and every installed font the tool accepts
agrees too, at 1.05-1.18 times HarfBuzz's time.
