[HarfBuzz] [p-c] Perso-Arabic symbols for "year"

[Khaled Hosny]

I've a version of Amiri font that works with Firefox as well (still have
to test it on Windows), I can send it to if you want to test it (though
my number sign handles up to 3 digits only, but if this is wrong I’m
happy to extend it).

Regards,
 Khaled
