Move the compileFontInfo call into the Font.prototype.exportData method (PR 20197 follow-up)

After the changes in PR 20197 the code in the `TranslatedFont.prototype.send` method is not all that readable[1] given how it handles e.g. the `charProcOperatorList` data used with Type3 fonts.
Since this is the only spot where `Font.prototype.exportData` is used, it seems much simpler to move the `compileFontInfo` call there and *directly* return the intended data rather than messing with it after the fact.

Finally, while it doesn't really matter, the patch flips the order of the `charProcOperatorList` and `extra` properties throughout the code-base since the former is used with Type3 fonts while the latter (effectively) requires that debugging is enabled.

[1] I had to re-read it twice, also looking at all the involved methods, in order to convince myself that it's actually correct.
