Log message:
Delete what remains of the support for combining characters into
ligatures: it was incomplete (only for the Arabic script and only
for the single ligature LAM WITH ALEF) and it was implemented in a
way that is unsustainable (with a static table inside less).
If we ever want ligature support, we are better off making a fresh
start. However, for languages like Arabic and Persian, even that
wouldn't really be useful without having bidirectional support first.
