[instancer] STAT: ElidedFallbackNameID is removed from 'name' table

See original GitHub issue

When creating a static instance from a VF that has an ElidedFallbackNameID in the STAT table, the name record referred to by ElidedFallbackNameID is deleted, but the field is not cleared.

I’m not sure what the fix should be:

don’t delete the name table entry
clear the ElidedFallbackNameID field

Oh! I think it’s the pruningUnusedNames context manager defined in instancer.names module, which wraps calls to instantiateSTAT. The method calls getVariationNameIDs (also defined in instancer.names module) but for STAT table it does not also considers that ElidedFallbackNameID can “use” a name ID. So it assumes it’s unused and later it will be dropped on exit.
