Description
@schriftgestalt
Since a recent change (I guess), saving a GSFont now automatically turns on all the checkboxes from GlyphsInfo for all glyphs! I suspsect this [commit](https://github.com/googlefonts/glyphsLib/commit/96e1bc9cb35e7acc7b704d0868d73423272cd4c6) to introduced this bug
```python
from glyphsLib import *
font = GSFont(".../New Font.glyphs")
font.save()
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with the Python snippet and inspect commit 96e1bc9cb35e7acc7b704d0868d73423272cd6. Compare GlyphsInfo checkbox state before and after saving the GSFont; done means saving no longer enables all glyph metadata flags unexpectedly.
