Support for variable fonts on macOS earlier than 10.12 was incomplete.
CGFonts supported variations fairly well by themselves, but hid the tag
name of the axes. CTFonts only supported named variations of system fonts
(which meant only Skia). It is possible to create a CTFont from a
CGFont, but this can into various bugs (because the CTFont didn't really
know about the variations in the CGFont). Beginning in 10.12 it is
possible to create a CTFont from data and set a variation on it directly,
allowing for much simpler code, a path forward for better and faster
API, and a possible reduction in font data leaking.

The only real observable affect of this change will be that the Skia
system font on macOS 10.11 will stop varying. Blink will still use
FreeType to render variable webfonts on macOS 10.10 and 10.11.
