[XeTeX] Using ucharclasses for combining marks

[ShreeDevi Kumar]

I was able to get this to work by using a different font for devanagari. I
am attaching MWE of the working tex code and resulting pdf for those who
maybe interested.

An interesting discovery from this exercise was getting the superscripts
and vedic marks to display in a different color.
