Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Specify what generic font family maps to nastaliq (#4397)

Although I understand the need for handling Urdu, but I think putting the burden of that challenge on this property is stretching the definition of the property and making it needlessly over-specific; Is Nastaliq a "generic font family" of Arabic script fonts? Possibly, but so are Kufi and Naskh with more immediate and widespread use-cases.

Ultimately, it's up to CSS spec editors to decide whether they are comfortable with this expansion of scope for "generic font family". 

In case this is planned to be added, I prefer it to clearly be named as `arabic-nastaliq`; future-proofing for `arabic-naskh` and `arabic-kufi`.
