[com.google.fonts/check/usweightclass] Fail with weightclass 100 in variable font
See original GitHub issueObserved behaviour
The (wip) spec recommends setting the OS2 weightclass for Thin to 100, but Google Fonts’ usweightclass check returns a FAIL if I follow the spec.
The error message reads:
FAIL: OS/2 usWeightClass expected value for '9pt Thin' is 250 but this font has 100.
Expected behaviour
Not sure. Either no fail in the check, or a clearer explanation what the value can/should be.

We must prioritise fixing this issue. Every vendor complains about it, https://github.com/xotypeco/big_shoulders/issues/9#issuecomment-623573511
Yep, we need to fix this.
For CFF we apparently want 250, for TT 200.
