Summary description: Tools to simplify using fonts (especially TT/OTF ones)

Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in this version:

- generated style files use "figureversions" instead of (deprecated) "fontaxes".
- when generating math fonts (experimental!), the script and scriptscript fonts
are by default loaded at somewhat bigger size than Latex's standard 70% and
50%, for better readability.
- a few minor bug fixes and documentation updates

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This release brings a few changes to autoinst:

- The new rCL-opticalsizesrCY option allows manually setting or
overriding a font's optical size information.
Several recent font families (Fraunces, Literata) contain
multiple optical masters but no size information, instead
making each optical size a separate family.
The rCL-opticalsizesrCY option allows specifying the optical
size range for each master, so that the fonts can be used
as a single LaTeX family.

- Autoinst now prints an informational message for all weights
and widths that could not be mapped to standard NFSS codes.

- A few bug fixes.
