Re: [predefined-counter-styles] Correction to the persian-alphabetic counter style

I strongly suggest collecting samples for this before making any specification decisions. My usual source for these matters is Adib-soltani and here is what I see there:

1. it's never `الف‍`. it's always `الف`;
2. dot is not used after the counter letter; rather `⁧‫الف)‬` than `‫الف.‬`;
3. no mention of the behavior for numbers larger than 32

Also, couple of other observations:

Abjad might end up tricky; some sources (much less credible than Adib-soltani) mention that 11, 12, and 13 should be `یا‍` and `یب` and `یج`. I'm still researching this.

In "خلاصة السّیاق" (Seyed Hasan Ghajar Tafreshi, 1326 AH, Tehran), a tabulation of the abjads and their values is presented. Note presented forms for م.
