[Neobrahmigp] Devanagari LGR finalization

Dear NBGP Members and Dr. Sarmad,

Further to the mail below, please find attached, modified descriptive 
version of the LGR i.e. Doc and the PDF files.

If there are no comments on same from the NBGP in due time, I request 
the co-chairs to propose the same as the version which can be given to 
IP for their final review. Also, would request Dr. Sarmad/Pitinan to 
assist with the updation of the XML to be in sync with these changes.

Following variant pairs have been suggested to be added. :

ॲं  U+0972 U+0902 - अँ U+0905 U+0901
एँ U+090F U+0901 - ऍं U+090D U+0902
ऑं U+0911 U+0902 - आँ U+0906 U+0901

Given the fact that all the above pairs begin with a Vowel, the same 
rule "not-when="preceded-by-H" as applicable to the vowel can be applied 
when adding the variant in the XML file.

I have deliberately kept the name of the files to be same as previous 
version, considering the previous version as an interim one.

Regards,

Akshat Joshi
