Avoid recomputing fallback values for vertical metrics

In https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/768822/
OpenTypeVerticalData was moved off of SimpleFontData. In order to
compute OpenTypeVerticalData lazily when needed for vertical layout,
fallback metrics ascent, height and size_per_unit need to be
available. This CL triggered two reports of performance regressions
(bugs below). I suspect these stem from a higher overhead in computing
these fallback metrics for every shaping operation. This CL reduces
computing the fallback metrics to situations in which they are needed
because the run's direction is vertical.

Somewhat speculative fix for the bugs below as it is hard to meaure
locally without noise. However, the amount of fallback metrics
recomputation for non-vertical layout pages was reduced from tens of
thousands to zero.
