Inconsistent version numbers #545

Your font version: 3.0.1
Your font variant: Regular
Your operating system (name and version): Ubuntu 20.04
Your application using Iosevka: n/a

The ttf file stores inconsistent version information in the "head" and "name" tables, as can be seen by running ttx iosevka-regular.ttf:

head.fontRevision = 1.0
name.Version = "Version 3.0.1; ttfautohint (v1.8.3)"

According to https://silnrsi.github.io/FDBP/en-US/Versioning.html these two versions should match.

It seems that fontconfig on Linux uses head.fontRevision: executing fc-match -f '%{fontversion}\n' iosevka gives 65536, which means 1.0.

Windows on the other hand uses the name.Version, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/head

Fixed the computation.
Note that since Iosevka follows semver, so I only keep one digit for patch and two digits for minor.
