Subject: Arabic shaping

Currently 'font-ota.lua' hard codes the Arabic shaping properties,and it
doesn't seem to be complete (e.g. the ڤ as in أڤاست is not joined), I
think such information belong to 'char-def.lua' and should be derived
from UCD, which provide 'ArabicShaping.txt[1]', covering Arabic, Syriac
and N'Ko scripts which all need the same shaping as Arabic.
