Export variable instances as DSv5 variable-fonts #977

Export Glyphs 3 as DesignSpace v5 variable-fonts, setting their custom parameters is the variable-font lib, mainly using the "public.fontInfo" key.

This does not round-trip back to .glyphs, if I understand correctly, right? How hard do you reckon will that be? Maybe we could file an issue as a TODO for later.

I don’t use ufo2glyphs myself, but I might look into it later. I’ll file an issue for now.
