Normalizer for Arabic.
Normalization is done in-place for efficiency, operating on a termbuffer.
Normalization is defined as:
- Normalization of hamza with alef seat to a bare alef.
- Normalization of teh marbuta to heh
- Normalization of dotless yeh (alef maksura) to yeh.
- Removal of Arabic diacritics (the harakat)
- Removal of tatweel (stretching character).
