[HarfBuzz] please remove U+115F U+1160 from default_ignorable

[Dohyun Kim]

OK.  Attached is a pdf file showing the difference between two xetex version.
The result of old version which uses ICU layout engine is correct one.
 I have drawn boundary lines around the sample texts, so that we can
easily catch the difference.
