      - modified the interface of the "sfnt" module. There is now a function
        called "load_format_tag", and another called "load_directory".
    
        The first one is in charge of returning the 4-byte tag located at
        the beginning of a given font file. It understand TrueType collections
        and parses them automatically
    
        The second loads the table directory that is located just after
        the format tag.
    
        This is useful, because the "SFNT" storage scheme can be used by
        several distinct formats, each with its own format tag.
    
        The TrueType driver now checks the format tag in "src/truetype/ttobjs.c"
    
      - made some changes to "src/shared/t1types.h" to clearly separate the
        Type 1 font content from the rest of the T1_Face structure. This
        will be useful when adding the CFF/Type2 driver that will be able
        to reuse the "T1_Font" structure within a "TT_Font" one (which
        really describes a SFNT-based font file).
    
        Some changes in "src/type1" were thus performed to reflect this.
        Note that the current type1 driver will be discontinued in a
        distant future. More on this later..
