M2: a post table version with swapped halves doesn't make a font unusable (#2946)

Vendored hayro-interpret refuses an embedded font whose `post` table
version isn't 1.0, 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 (a guard from pdf.js issue 9462).
ScanSoft PDF Create! writes the version of every font it embeds with its
16-bit halves swapped (`00 00 00 03` for 3.0), so those fonts were refused
and their text drawn with a substitute: Hebrew came out as Latin
look-alikes or not at all.

1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 with swapped halves are now accepted too; any other
unknown version is still refused. PdfCraft patch (38) in vendor/README.md.
