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

When I discussed this issue with @roozbehp he had some examples of Persian words that do this, IIRC.

Just to lay it out, there are multiple issues here, of varying severity:

 - U+FDF2 sometimes rendered as l-l-h for some fonts, which is completely wrong
 - a-l-l-h autoligaturifies to add shadda/dagger alif, which is incorrect if it is part of some words (but as Khaled says this may be what people expect)
 - a-l-l-h with diacritics gets _more_ diacritics added to it in Arial, which is again completely wrong
 - Arial, Tahoma, Al Bayan, Damascus add diacritics to l-l-h when there is no alif, which seems similarly incorrect to me
