Previously the normal/italic style bit was obtained from scanning the
font file. With the new format the style may be stated explicitly, and
this explicit value in the configuration file should override any
information obtained from the font data itself.
This change allows the font element's style attribute to override the
font's style, but retains the default 'auto' setting for backwards
compatibility. Repecting the style bit may become more important with
variation fonts, because it will be up to the configuration writer to
determine what values of the 'slnt' variation should be considered
'normal' or 'italic'.
