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.
More like Uniscribe... We still allow user-defined features to
work across syllables, but not pres,blws,abs,psts,etc.
This "regressed" Sinhala numbers by 11. These are cases were
there's Consonant followed by Ra,Halant,ZWJ at the of text.
The Ra,Halant,ZWJ ends up forming reph, which is wrong...
But before we were also ligating that reph with the previous
consonant. That's even more wrong. That's also what Uniscribe
does.

After the Ngapi hackfest work, we were assuming that fonts
won't use presentation features to choose specific forms
(eg. conjuncts). As such, we were using auto-joiner behavior
for such features. It proved to be troublesome as many fonts
used presentation forms ('pres') for example to form conjuncts,
which need to be disabled when a ZWJ is inserted.
Two examples:
U+0D2F,U+200D,U+0D4D,U+0D2F with kartika.ttf
U+0995,U+09CD,U+200D,U+09B7 with vrinda.ttf
What we do now is to never do magic to ZWJ during GSUB's main input
match for Indic-style shapers. Note that backtrack/lookahead are still
matched liberally, as is GPOS. This seems to be an acceptable
compromise.
As to the bug that initially started this work, that one needs to
be fixed differently:

The code was confused because it was expecting left matra to have
POS_PRE_M, like we do in the Myanmar shaper, but that is not what
we were doing in this shaper. Rewrite to rely on category only.
Test case: U+AA06,U+AA34,U+AA2F
Ouch, how did things ever work without this?! The added test that has a
dot-reph as well as a pre-base reordering Ra perfectly demonstrates the
bug (tested with Nirmala font from Win8 for example). Testing suggests
that Win8 shaper has the *exact* same bug / behavior that we used to
have. Odd.
This sequence: U+120B,U+135F,U+120B with the Nyala font from Win7
exposes a GPOS bug in Uniscribe, in that the positioned mark is wrongly
moved as a result a following kern.
This is the one "failure" in the Ethiopic test suite :-).

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
The d1d69ec52e change broke Kannada badly,
since it was ligating consonants, pushing matra out, and then ligating
with the matra. Adjust for that. See comments.
This commit: a3313e5400 broke MarkMarkPos
when one of the marks itself is a ligature. That regressed 26 Tibetan
tests (up from zero!). Fix that. Tibetan back to zero.
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.

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%).
