[FriBidi] Is it possible to disable the shaping to presentation forms

[Khaled Hosny]

It depennds on how you use FriBiDi, I can imagine
fribidi_get_par_embedding_levels() to be what most people should be
using, especially when in combination with HarfBuzz since you don't want
to do in text reversion before HarfBuzz processes the text.
