Issue:
post table underlinePosition
The `postscriptUnderlinePosition` wasn't well specified in the UFO: it conflated the value for `CFF/Type1` and `post/CFF2`, where those values are actually different: `post/CFF2` value is the top of the underline, `CFF/Type1` is the middle of the underline.

The UFO spec got clarified to be clear that `postscriptUnerlinePosition` is `CFF/Type1' (https://github.com/unified-font-object/ufo-spec/issues/217).

The behavior for calculation from above is what the AFDKO has been doing, just need to update ufo2ft to follow suit.

I will PR a change (and tests) soon.
