Commissioner: METADATA.pb updated with all axes

[RosaWagner]

So this is a great opportunity to clarify the metadata default values (related issue: googlefonts/gf-docs#83 (comment))

• Default master has weight=100 and METADATA.pd displays weight=400. What should I do ? change it to 100 manually ? or use registry_default_overrides?
• VOLUME and FLAIR should be added to the axis registry ?

The axisregistry/ also needs to be updated. We'll need a new .textproto file for each new axis. To gen these, use gftools add-axis.py.

registry_default_overrides

This is for over-riding values in axis registry; its not related to the glyf table design.

@m4rc1e is going to look into the previous discussion of this, we couldn't find it on a call just now, but any family with this is going to be blocked until this is resolved

OK, the issue is here: fonttools/fontbakery#2683

The conclusion was that while the Default glyf master has weight=100, since the wght range covers 400 then its fine for METADATA.pb to have weight=400.

Therefore nothing is needed - no change to 100 manually and no use of registry_default_overrides :)

This is blocked until we figure out the axis registry / metadata / zip file issue
