Description
Google's Noto project was almost certainly the only user of the MTI feature compiler (compiling Monotype FontDame text-format GSUB/GPOS dumps to binary). With all of the MTI format files now converted to FEA, this is no longer a requirement. While there's no harm having the old code around, and possibly some benefit in terms of separation-of-concerns in having two feature compiler subclasses, less code is cleaner and more maintainable than more code. We should deprecate and remove it.
