This commit adds the functionality to directly set font variation settings. The work directly builds upon a prior attempt from libsdl-org#506. Instead of parsing a single string, the API is changed to expect an array of variation settings, in the same format expected by the HarfBuzz function hb_font_set_variations(). This allows the font variation to be set even when HarfBuzz is not used.

This commit adds the functionality to directly set font features. The work directly builds upon a prior attempt from libsdl-org#506. Instead of parsing a single string, the API is changed to expect an array of features to apply globally, similar to the font variation support implementation. The option to apply a feature to a specific part of every text using the font is no longer present. OpenType features can be applied not only to everything using the font, but also to only a part of some text. This commit does not address this.

This commit adds a helper macro for constructing tags that can be used with TTF_SetFontScript(), for use cases where calling TTF_StringToTag() is undesired or impossible. The macro is identical in use to FT_MAKE_TAG in FreeType and HB_TAG in HarfBuzz. Signed-off-by: Du Yijie <nathandu@outlook.com>

This pull request adds basic support for directly manipulating font variations and OpenType features.
This is a continuation of #506. While the previous attempt presented an API that consumes strings, the API in this PR instead consumes arrays of tag-value pairs, to make the implementation less complicated. The font variation can now be set even when SDL_ttf is not built with HarfBuzz support.
The previous attempt has limited support for applying OpenType features to only specific parts of text, which is no longer present in this PR.
Fixes: #503
Closes: #506
