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.

+/* Shaping (docs/design/004-text.md): a run of characters (one script, one
+ * direction) to glyphs and their positions, as HarfBuzz 10 shapes it with
+ * its default, Arabic and Hebrew shapers, glyph for glyph and unit for unit.
+ *
+ * What a font's shaping needs travels in a symbol file (its shaping
+ * section), written by the build tool:
+ *   - plans, compiled from the font: per script and direction, which
+ *     lookups run, in what order, on which glyphs (the feature masks);
+ *   - the font's character map and advances;
+ *   - its OpenType layout tables (GDEF, GSUB, GPOS) as they are: they are
+ *     read in place, every read checked against the table's end, so a
+ *     damaged table shapes wrong but never reads outside it.
+ * Positions are in the font's units (VegaShaping.upem to an em).
+ *
+ * The section, little-endian:
+ *   "VSHP", u32 size, u16 upem, u16 glyph_count,
+ *   u32 cmap_count, u32 cmap_offset       (u32 code, u32 glyph; by code),
+ *   u32 advances_offset                   (glyph_count u16),
+ *   u32 offset, u32 size of GDEF, of GSUB and of GPOS (0 0 when absent),
+ *   u32 plan_count, u32 plans_offset      (VEGA_PLAN_BYTES each),
+ *   u32 step_count, u32 steps_offset      (8 bytes each)
+ * Offsets are from the section's start. A plan:
+ *   u32 script (ISO 15924 as a tag: 'Latn'), u8 direction, u8 native
+ *   direction (of its script; 0 when it has none), u8 shaper, u8 flags,
+ *   u32 global mask, u32 masks[VEGA_PLAN_MASKS], u32 first GSUB step,
+ *   u32 GSUB steps, u32 first GPOS step, u32 GPOS steps.
+ * A step, a lookup to run: u16 lookup index, u8 flags, u8 0, u32 mask. */
