Italic metadata are consistent in Italic fonts (universal?)

See original GitHub issue

I am working on fixing Nunito (variable) that has one source with an ital axis, and we slice it in post-process to generate 2 VFs. Some stuff related to the italic font were missing and Fontbakery didn’t raise any warning.

Also this is useful cause GlyphsApp doesn’t still set the italic style linking properly to link 2 VFs, and you can only see it if you look inside the font tables. These are also common practice and wouldn’t kill to have it in Universal Profile.

I attach here the test case, a “good” and a “bad” with the current report: ItalicStyleLinking.zip

All these checks should be triggered if “Italic” is part of the file name, or NameID2, or NameID17.
