In Oriya, a ZWJ/ZWNJ might be added before candrabindu to encourage
or stop ligation of the candrabindu. This is clearly specified in
the Unicode section on Oriya. Allow it there. Note that Uniscribe
doesn't allow this.
Micro tests added using Noto Sans Oriya draft.

First, we were abusing OT_VD instead of OT_A. Fix that
but moving OT_A in the grammar where it belongs (which
is different from what the spec says).
Also, only allow medial consonants after all other
consonants. This doesn't affect any current character.
Finally, fix Halant attachment in presence of medial
consonants. Again, this currently doesn't affect any
sequence.
I lied. There's Gurmukhi U+0A75 which is Consonant_Medial.
Uniscribe allows one of those in each of these positions:
before matras, after matras and before syllable modifiers,
and after syllable modifiers! We currently just allow
unlimited numbers of it, before matras.
Bug 70509 - Candrabindu+Visarga doesn't work in Devanagari
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70509
We categorize both bindus and visarga as syllable-modifiers.
OT spec doesn't actually say what characters go in the syllable
modifier category, and allows one. We just allow up to two now.
Test case: U+0930,U+0941,U+0901,U+0903
Uniscribe currently doesn't support that and produces a
dotted circle.
With FreeSerif, it seems that the 'ccmp' feature does ligature
substituttions. That was then causing syllable match failures. We now
find syllables before any features have been applied.
Test sequence: U+0D9A,U+0DCA,U+200D,U+0DBB,U+0DCF
Uniscribe accepts a Halant,ZWJ before matras. Allow that.

Now that we insert dotted-circle, tests break more easily when our indic
machine breaks.
In particular, a few Devanagari tests were having sequences like
"C,H,ZWJ,N", and because of the ZWJ the Nukta does NOT get reordered to
before the Halant as the grammar used to expect... Fixup.
Another case is as simple as "C,ZWJ,SM".
Fixes 10 out of 79 failures:
DEVANAGARI: 707325 out of 707394 tests passed. 69 failed (0.00975411%)
Brings down Khmer failures from 162 to 47.

Also rebaselined some of the test files that had only-inherited lines.

Still some regressions, but some of the more egregious cases are
addressed.
No panic, we reeally insert dotted circle when it's absolutely broken.
Fixes most of the dotted-circle cases against Uniscribe. (for Devanagari
fixes 80% of them, for Khmer 70%; the rest look like Uniscribe being
really bogus...)
I had to make a decision. Apparently Uniscribe adds one dotted circle
to each broken character. I tried that, but that goes wrong easily with
split matras. So I made it add only one dotted circle to an entire
broken syllable tail. As in: "if there was a dotted circle here, this
would have formed a correct cluster." That works better for split
stuff, and I like it more.
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.
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:
BENGALI: 353908 out of 354285 tests passed. 377 failed (0.106412%)
DEVANAGARI: 693572 out of 693628 tests passed. 56 failed (0.00807349%)
GUJARATI: 366485 out of 366506 tests passed. 21 failed (0.00572978%)
GURMUKHI: 60750 out of 60809 tests passed. 59 failed (0.0970251%)
KANNADA: 950730 out of 951913 tests passed. 1183 failed (0.124276%)
KHMER: 298613 out of 299124 tests passed. 511 failed (0.170832%)

TELUGU: 970524 out of 970573 tests passed. 49 failed (0.00504856%)
Some of the remaining Telugu and Devanagari issues seem to be Uniscribe
eating Anusvara when placed before a non-joiner. Ouch!
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!
In Sinhala, Rakar is formed by Al-Lakuna,ZWJ,Ra. If you put that at the
end of a Consonant,Matra syllable, you get a dotted-circle from
Uniscribe. Apparently adding a ZWJ before the Al-Lakuna "fixes" that.
And people have been encoding that sequence... So, allow a forced
"ZWJ,Virama,ZWJ,Ra" sequence at the of syllables.
Fixes some 100 or more of Sinhala failures. Now at 622 only (0.23%).
It's a visual Repha.
Still not positioning logical Repha as occurs in Malayalam.
Another 200 Khmer failures fixed. 547 to go. That's better than
Devanagari!
