'kern' version should not be 1

See original GitHub issue

https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/kern.htm doesn’t specify v1. IIUC (from @anthrotype’s comments) 1.0 is only use for Apple AAT.

Report existence of a 1.0 kern table as a problem. Can be detected in Python using something like 'kern' in f and f['kern'].version == 1

In my local [possibly outdated] clone of our google/fonts ofl/coda/Coda-Regular.ttf has this problem.

But that caught our attention to another issue. I see that this test checks for ‘KERN’. According to the spec, it seems we should be looking for ‘kern’ instead.

I assume the issue has been addressed. Re-open in case you disagree.
