We were not initializing the digests properly and as a result they were
being initialized to zero, making digest1 to never do any useful work.
Speeds up Amiri shaping significantly.
See thread "an issue regarding discrepancy between Korean and Unicode
standards" on the mailing list for the rationale. In short: Uniscribe
doesn't, so fonts are designed to work without it.
Testing shows that this is closer to what Uniscribe does.
Reported by Khaled Hosny:
"""
commit 568000274c
...
This commit is causing a regression with Amiri, the string “هَٰذ” with
Uniscribe and HarfBuzz before this commit, gives:
[uni0630.fina=3+965|uni0670.medi=0+600|uni064E=0@-256,0+0|uni0647.init=0+926]
But now it gives:
[uni0630.fina=3+965|uni0670.medi=0+0|uni064E=0@-256,0+0|uni0647.init=0+926]
i.e. uni0670.medi is zeroed though it has a base glyph GDEF class.
"""
The test case is U+0647,U+064E,U+0670,U+0630 with Amiri.
After the Ngapi hackfest work, we were assuming that fonts
won't use presentation features to choose specific forms
(eg. conjuncts). As such, we were using auto-joiner behavior
for such features. It proved to be troublesome as many fonts
used presentation forms ('pres') for example to form conjuncts,
which need to be disabled when a ZWJ is inserted.
Two examples:
U+0D2F,U+200D,U+0D4D,U+0D2F with kartika.ttf
U+0995,U+09CD,U+200D,U+09B7 with vrinda.ttf
What we do now is to never do magic to ZWJ during GSUB's main input
match for Indic-style shapers. Note that backtrack/lookahead are still
matched liberally, as is GPOS. This seems to be an acceptable
compromise.
As to the bug that initially started this work, that one needs to
be fixed differently:

Ubuntu doesn't (or didn't until recently?) ship icu pkg-config
files. That's quite unfortunate. Work around it.
Bug 57608 - ICU Detection fallback for non-pkgconfig systems
That flag is redundant, deprecated, and ignored since April 2011.

Always ignore global advance.
This makes FT_LOAD_IGNORE_GLOBAL_ADVANCE_WIDTH redundant,
deprecated, and ignored. The new behavior is what every major user
of FreeType has been requesting. Global advance is broken in many
CJK fonts. Just ignoring it by default makes most sense.

I added these because the older mingw32 toolchain didn't have
MemoryBarrier(). The newer mingw-w64 toolchain however has.
As reported by John Emmas this was causing build failure with
MSVC (on glib) because of inline issues. But that reminded me
that we may be taking this path even if the system implements
MemoryBarrier as a function, which is a waste. So, just remove
it.
