If there is no GPOS, zero mark advances.
If there *is* GPOS and the shaper requests so, zero mark advances for
attached marks.
Fixes regression with Tibetan, where the font has GPOS, and marks a
glyph as mark where it shouldn't get zero advance.
When we removed the separate Hangul shaper, the specific normalization
preference of Hangul was lost. Fix that. Also, the Thai shaper was
copied from Hangul, so had the fully-composed normalization behavior,
which was unnecessary. So, fix that too.
The font is forming a post-base consonant in some samples, and Uniscribe
positions top matra on the post-base. Do the same.
Gurmukhi failures down from 59 to 41 (0.0674242%).
Just put it before base, which is what's expected.
Malayalam failures down from 1559 to 1197 (0.114172%).

The sequence Ra,H,Ya in Bengali is ambigious and Unicode encoded that to
get Ya-Phalaa, one would place ZWJ before Halant. Ie. a ZWJ,H sequence
requests subjoining, while a H,ZWJ requests Half form. Implement that.
Bengali failures go down from 377 to 297 (0.0838308%).
Gujarati is down by 4 to 17 (0.0046384%).
Kannada is down by 226 to 957 (0.100534%).

In Khmer coeng model, a V,Ra can go *after* matras. If it goes after a
split matra, it should be reordered to *before* the left part of such matra.
Khmer failures down from 136 to 39 (0.0130381%).
Apparently if there is C,V,ZWJ,C, the first C will be base, but if
it's C,ZWJ,V,C, the second one will be.
Note that Uniscribe implements this differently, by breaking syllable in
the case of C,ZWJ,V,C and putting the first consonant in one syllable
and the rest in the next syllable.
Sinhala failures down from 208 to 158 (0.0581209%). No changes to
Khmer.
Sinhala does not have half forms. And most (all?) consonants can be
base, except when preceded by ZWJ, which would request a subjoined form.
Hence switch the base algorithm to categorize with Khmer, start search
at start, and stop at a ZWJ.
Also, mark all pos=base consonants after base to be subjoined. Mark
base itself to have pos=base.
Finally, adjust Sinhala's reph position to after-main.
Brings down Sinhala failures from 455 to 328 (0.120656%).
If, say, a H,ZWJ,C ligature was formed, we don't want the code to detec
that as a Halant. So, ignore ligatures when matching category in
final_reordering.
Sinhala failures down from 514 to 455 (0.167374%).
That's really what Uniscribe does, and explains a lot of pecularities of
Halant,ZWNJ before the base.
Sent Telugu from 1% failures to 0.03%. Improved Kannada and Malayalam
slightly. Fixed half of Bengali, and did NOT break anything!
