Modification requests on Sans Devanagari to accommodate Nepali #18

1. Remove the ligature 'श्व' (SHA VIRAMA VA - 0936 094D 0935) - 
attachment 1. So that, that ligature would be as in attachment 2.

Reasoning: Nepali does not use the former; Hindi and Marathi is ok with the 
second one.

2. Fix the white seen at the junction of the half form for 'ञ्ज' (NYA 
VIRAMA JA - 091E 094D 091C) - attachment 3.

Other deep conjuncts considered were:
ञ्ज (NYA VIRAMA JA - 091E 094D 091C)
ङ्ग (NGA VIRAMA GA - U+0919 U+094D 0917)

Even though Nepali uses these sequences for nasalization, it does not use deep 
conjunct. Hindi and Marathi are using respective Anuswara based forms for 
nasalization. So these sequences are rare in Hindi and Marathi. So the decision 
is not to go for these deep conjuncts.

Please add the conjuncts considered above (ञ्ज, ङ्ग, श्व) as 
language dependent features enabled for Hindi, Marathi and Sanskrit.
