Ratio character on left, colon on right — ∶ :

At least in Windows 10, the Unicode ratio character is used instead of a colon when displaying the time on the taskbar. The ratio character is almost the same as the colon character, but it is slightly raised. Since the ratio character isn't supported in Cascadia Code, using it will display a box instead of the correct character.

Time

Implementing the ratio character would be useful because it can be used between numbers like 3∶2 and subjectively looks better than 3:2 with a colon.

This is a fairly comprehensive (and spooky!) 🐛💀 update resolving many
open issues.

### Arabic bugfixes
- [x] Closes #532 👻 - Additional positional variants added
- [x] Closes #535 🍂 - Corrected hamza form
- [x] Closes #540 🎃 - Dot arrangement corrected
- [x] Closes #541 🧹 - Was due to the use of anchors on those glyphs.
  These have been removed so the glyph can render as spacing.
- [x] Closes #542 🌕 - This was partly due to a [bug in Harfbuzz]. It
  has been resolved both on the font side (through a different
  implementation) and in Harfbuzz. 
- [x] Closes #549 🦸‍♀️ - Design corrected
- [x] Closes #555 💀 - All letter glyphs removed from Arabic
  Presentation form unicode slots to avoid situations where the glyphs
  are not behaving as expected.
- [x] Related to #543 - uni0615 removed as Cascadia Arabic not intended
  to support Quranic

### Other bug fixes
- [x] Closes #488 🔪 - Finally made the www ligature have the proper
  number of `w`s. 
- [x] Closes #436 🧟‍♀️ - Extended length of Powerline 'caps' to
  avoid situations where rounding can prevent overlap. This may cause
  problems if the caps are used next to one another, but that seems an
  unlikely scenario given what I've reviewed of Powerline styles. 
- [x] Closes #521 🤖 - enlarged the size of the grave character to make
  it more recognizable / legible in code. 
- [x] Closes #524 ☠️ - Added some more differentiation in stroke, and
  also created more space using hinting. 
- [x] Closes #525 🧙‍♂️ - tweaked the braces to be more twisty and
  create better differentiation from the parens. 
- [x] Closes #529 🧛‍♀️ - Changed year :P
- [x] Closes #546 👹 - ij no longer masquerading as a mark. 
- [x] Closes #563 🧟‍♂️ - corrected `locl` feature for proper
  Serbian rendering
- [x] Closes #571 🦹‍♀️ - corrected overshoot
- [x] Closes #572 🕷 - ratio symbol added
- [x] Closes #577 🍁 - shifted heights of box drawing lines to better
  align with block glyphs. Will reduce risk of non-joining forms under
  certain conditions.
