Remove slnt/ital VF axis

This removes the slant/italic variable axis and breaks up the font in two: roman and italic. This change will allow diverging designs for italic (for example single-storey a). It also addresses the fact that most software, including web browsers, doesn't handle VFs with slnt or ital well.
