Allow regular expression for selecting subset characters. #84

It is difficult to type invisible characters using the keyboard, and unnecessarily time-consuming to write out all letters of the alphabet for creating a subset of a font. A much simpler way to generate the ASCII-only subset is now to run:

SfntTool -regex '[ -~]' original.ttf ascii-only.ttf
