Both v-l-serifed-asymmetric and v-capital-j-serifed-both-sides share the same code

[adamkiss]

I've been trying to build my own Iosevka with symmetric J and build kept failing with "Error: Cannot find glyph 'ldot.serifedAsymmetric'", which was weird, because I haven't used that one.

But I was using shortcodes for characters instead of v-letter-variation, and I noticed that two characters use the same shortcode.

Quoting from the readme:

• v-l-serifed-asymmetric, VXDA: Serifed l with shorter top serif.
• v-capital-j-serifed-both-sides, VXDA: J with symmetric at both sides.

So>

• two characters share the same shortcode
• one is possibly failing

Renamed the l variant tag to VXDL. Closed.
