[HarfBuzz] OTF font with CALT alternative turned on by default

[Kelvin Ma]

Set the calt feature value to 0 and pass it explicitly to the shaper

In python…

def ot_feature(name, value):
    bytename = list(map(ord, name))
    b, O = hb.feature_from_string(bytename)
    if b:
        O.value = value
        return O
    else:
        raise ValueError('invalid opentype feature name ' +
repr(str(bytename)))

...

no_calt = ot_feature('calt', 0)

...

hb.shape(font, hb_buffer, [no_calt])
