4.36.0

- [varLib.models] Use a simpler model that generates narrower "tents" (regions, master
  supports) whenever possible: specifically when any two axes that actively "cooperate"
  (have masters at non-zero positions for both axes) have a complete set of intermediates.
  The simpler algorithm produces fewer overlapping regions and behaves better with
  respect to rounding at the peak positions than the generic solver, always matching
  intermediate masters exactly, instead of maximally 0.5 units off. This may be useful
  when 100% metrics compatibility is desired (#2218, #2717).
- [feaLib] Remove warning when about ``GDEF`` not being built when explicitly not
  requested; don't build one unconditonally even when not requested (#2744, also works
  around #2747).
- [ttFont] ``TTFont.getGlyphSet`` method now supports selecting a location that
  represents an instance of a variable font (supports both user-scale and normalized
  axes coordinates via the ``normalized=False`` parameter). Currently this only works
  for TrueType-flavored variable fonts (#2738).
