Description

@davelab6

@EbenSorkin thought his VF was buggy, but it was correct, as discussed in googlefonts/fontmake#666 (comment)

Therefore we miight have a WARN check that, when the font is a VF and the nameID 1 is not the base family name (eg, it has style name particles, found elsewhere in the VF tables), we let users know this is expected, but they might want to pick a different master to use as the 'zero origin.'

This also belongs as a small update to https://github.com/googlefonts/gf-docs/tree/master/Spec#font-zero-origin
