Subset SVG table with pyftsubset

See original GitHub issue

It’s noted in this issue that the subetter doesn’t know how to subset the SVG table. It would be nice if it did as SVG fonts can use all the optimization they can get 😃

Currently, I have to explicitly tell pyftsusbet to leave the SVG table alone, as per instructions in the mentioned issue, so that should change too:

pyftsubset --verbose --no-subset-tables+='SVG ' --drop-tables-='SVG '  my-test-font.otf  --text='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890ao123%‰€$¢£¥áâàäåãæçéêèëíîìïıñóôòöõøœšßúûùüýÿžÁÂÀÄÅÃÆÇÉÊÈËÍÎÌÏÑÓÔÒÖÕØŒŠÚÛÙÜÝŸ.,:;-–—•·...“‘’‘‚“”„‹›«»/\?!¿¡()[]{}†*&©®@#§+×=_°|'

We can finally subset OT-SVG fonts! 🥳 It should work with simple fonts (with single color glyph per SVG document, like most of the OT-SVG fonts out there) as well as more complex ones with lots of cross-references. Please test your fonts and send us bug reports. I’ll make a release soon.

Unfortunately I only know of OT SVG fonts that use individual SVG documents per glyph, like bixacolor.com.
