Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add Kurdish letter lam with small v to the Kurdish table

U+06B5 was missing, so it stayed unshaped in Kurdish text.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Make the lam with small v test exact and readable

- Write the private-use code points as escapes so the expected values
  are visible in diffs and editors.
- Compare the whole reshaped output with assertEqual instead of
  assertIn, so a wrongly shaped neighbour or extra output also fails.
- Add real Kurdish words that put the letter after a non-joining letter.
