Make font development independent of Unicode Edit

Create a VOLT file which can do all the substitution and positioning. One can modify Anjali's Volt source. Fonts follow a naming convention for the glyphs. After font development, they can import this volt source and can get a Unicode complaint font!

The naming convension can be Mozhi itself. For below base forms, it can be <name of the letter>.s. For example, below base form of ന can be named 'na.s'. When there are multiple below base forms, eg: വ, we can use va.s, va.s1 etc. Here va.s is the common form in സ്വന്തം. The va.s1 is the form in താഴ്വാരം.
