[HarfBuzz] Hindi scripts shaping support (Devangari and etc)

[Olivier BERTEN]

As far as I can tell, Harfbuzz already supports these scripts. I'm
currently testing hb-view for Khmer script and it works like a charm, as
long as the khmr script is defined in the font. If not, you just need to
tell which opentype features hb should use.
