2022-09-13: Release 15.0.01

* Update for Unicode 15.0.0 release.
* Existing Unicode scripts in Unifont maintain complete coverage.
* New Unicode 15.0.0 Plane 1 scripts:
  - U+10EFD..U+10EFF Arabic Extended-C
  - U+11B00..U+11B5F Devanagari Extended-A
  - U+11F00..U+11F5F Kawi
  - U+1D2C0..U+1D2DF Kaktovik Numerals
  - U+1E030..U+1E08F Cyrillic Exntended-D

  - U+E1D0..U+E1FF Syai
  - U+E360..U+E37F Sarkai
  - U+ED80..U+EDAF Iranic.
* "make install" now installs Unifont OpenType font files in the
  same directory as TrueType fonts by default. The intention is
  to remove TrueType fonts files from the "install" target for the
  Unicode 16.0.0 release unless there is a reason to keep them.
