Does not attempt to handle clusters in a Uniscribe- or HarfBuzz-compatible way;
just returns the original string indexes that CT maintains. These may even be
out-of-order in the case of reordrant glyphs.
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%).
Uniscribe is buggy and sometimes /eats/ a mark next to a non-joiner.
Most of Malayalam failures where actually hitting this bug.
Ignore test output with two zero-width space glyphs. This is a hack
until we build up the test suite infrastructure better.

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%).

Also limit joiners.
This limits our syllable length to a constant, and is
closer to what Uniscribe does anyway.
Two Devanagari tests regressed, but who cares about tests with 20
joiners in a row?! Devanagari at 57 (0.00821766%) now.
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%).
Seems to be about what Uniscribe does. Not exactly. But close enough.
More consonants will start a new cluster.
A few scripts went way down in failures. In particular:
- Devanagari failures went down from 490 to 56.
- Telugu went down from 113 to 49.
Other scripts went down slightly or didn't change. New numbers:

Some of the remaining Telugu and Devanagari issues seem to be Uniscribe
eating Anusvara when placed before a non-joiner. Ouch!
Uniscribe reorders U+0E3A to be after U+0E38 and U+0E39. We do that by
modifying the ccc for U+0E3A.
Fixes the two remaining Thai failures (see previous commit).
Adjust the list of marks before SARA AM that get the reordering
treatment. Also adjust cluster formation to match Uniscribe.
With Wikipedia test data, now I see:
- For Thai, with the Angsana New font from Win7, I see 54 failures out
of over 4M tests (0.00129107%). Of the 54, two are legitimate
reordering issues (fix coming soon), and the other 52 are simply
Uniscribe using a zero-width space char instead of an unknown
character for missing glyphs. No idea why. The missing-glyph
sequences include one that is a Thai character followed by an Arabic
Sokun. Someone confused it with Nikhahit I assume!
- For Lao, with the Dokchampa font from Win7, 33 tests fail out of
54k (0.0615167%). All seem to be insignificant mark positioning
with two marks on a base. Have to investigate.
