Merge a few checks into opentype/fvar/axis_ranges_correct

Following FontSpector. New check: - opentype/fvar/axis_ranges_correct Old checks: - opentype/varfont/ital_range - opentype/varfont/slnt_range - opentype/varfont/wdth_valid_range - opentype/varfont/wght_valid_range On the OpenType profile. (issue #4865)

 ### Noteworthy code-changes
   - Full fix for bug where check details with more severe status would be missing from the HTML report if a check with the same ID but less severe status was omitted (issue #4687)
 
+### New checks
+  - **[opentype/fvar/axis_ranges_correct]:** Replaces **opentype/varfont/ital_range**, **opentype/varfont/slnt_range**, **opentype/varfont/wdth_valid_range and **opentype/varfont/wght_valid_range**
+

 ### Changes to existing checks
 ### On the Universal profile
   - **[family/control_chars]:** renamed to **control_chars** as it is not realy a family-wide check. (issue #4896)
   - **[glyf_nested_components]**  renamed to **nested_components**.
