Re: [alreq] U+FDF2 'ARABIC LIGATURE ALLAH ISOLATED FORM' not always rendered correctly

My thinking is :
- Do not use U+FDF2 the presentation form character. Beside being deprecated, many fonts omit the first ALEPH.
- Write ALLAH in full letters (ALEF LAM LAM HEH). Many fonts try, if not to replace it by the ligature shape, but to decorate it by adding the "formal" ARABIC SHADDA ّ  (U+0651) and ARABIC LETTER SUPERSCRIPT ALEF  ٰ (U+0670). Note however, to not put proper diacritics like SHADDA and FATHA after LAM. They might come over  the added formal signs.

Html code to test your fonts:
`<p>&nbsp;&#xFDF2;   &#x627;&#x644;&#x644;&#x64E;&#x651;&#x647;  &#x627;&#x644;&#x644;&#x647; </p>`

@behnam and @khaled, +1 to cover font development best practices.
