Should compileTTF() call cu2qu?

See original GitHub issue

Right now I need to manually call cu2qu to convert fonts with cubic outlines before calling compileTTF(), but it might make some sense to do this by default in some way or another.

One problem of calling font_to_quadratic() before compileTTF() is that it modifies the font in place which is problematic if the caller wants to continue working with the original font (e.g. a font editor exporting the font), so I think setupTable_glyf() is a good place to do the conversion without having to modify the source font.

I think we can add optional parameter for error tolerance to compileTTF().

(with what error tolerance though?)
