bug#55439: [PATCH] Add support for the Modi script

Can you tell how many more old scripts you intend to add? I'm
thinking perhaps we should make a separate section for them in NEWS,
instead of basically repeating the same text over and over and over
again

I am planning to add about 31 more scripts.

I'm okay with the change, but please add the same sample-text to the
Devanagari language environment in indian.el.

Done.

I have also:

1. added sample texts to other scripts which didn't have them.

2. replaced the spaces with a tab in the sample texts which I had added.

3. renamed Punjabi to Gurmukhi in its set-language-info-alist.

In etc/HELLO

I have:

1. added a Gurumukhi greeting.

2. replaced the Odia greeting, it was ଶୁଣିବେ (tl. Listen) earlier, which I don't think is a greeting, therefore I have replaced it with ନମସ୍କାର (namaskaar)

The "Hindi" greeting had a character at its end, U+0964, which
disappeared when you moved the line to Devanagari. Is that
intentional?

Yes, that was intentional, it was a full stop. I didn't think that it was necessary, the other greetings also did not have it.

Period missing at the end of this line.

Oops. Fixed it. The earlier news entry about Syloti Nagri did not have it too, so I have also added it there.

Thanks.
