Rebuild Iosevka Comfy (upstream v.11.2.7)

* Improve: the README to explain how Iosevka Comfy differs from the
  standard Iosevka style.

* Make the capital 'D' use a top and bottom serif to avoid the issue
  where TODO at small point sizes reads like TOOO.  This reverts commit
  3e3a91f.

* Use a single storey 'a' for roman and italic variants.  The rounded
  shape is more consistent with the rest of the typeface.

* Use a tailed 'u' for both variants, for the same reason as above.

* Revert to using an 'm' with a short middle leg to avoid the problem
  where the three legs visually blend into a solid block at small point
  sizes.  Roman and italic variants have slighty different 'm' glyphs
  due to their particular requirements, though both use the short middle
  leg style in the interest of consistency.

* Make the '0' have an oval shape for both roman and italic variants
  with a dashed forward slash which looks like a dot at small point
  sizes.  The slashed zero that was used before feels like an
  exaggeration when the oval shape of the character already is
  sufficiently distinct from 'O'.  This new style is better than the
  alternative of the dotted zero because the inside of the character is
  more subtle (again, avoiding the possible exaggeration).

* Other minor tweaks to the comments in the private-build-plans.toml.

+sizes.  This informs the choice of certain glyphs such as `D` with a top
+and bottom serif and a curved body to clearly differentiate it from the
+capital `O`, or an `m` with a short middle leg to prevent the letter's
+lines from visually blending into a box-like shape (always referring to
+small point sizes).  For larger size, these details are not strictly
+necessary, though Iosevka Comfy should still look decent despite their
+presence.
+
+Considering the line height and width as well as the desired appearance
+of each glyph, the optimal point values are: 8, 10, 12, 13.  Other sizes
+which are almost as good: 9, 10.5, 13.5.

+
+## Build information
+
+Iosevka Comfy is configured in accordance with the documentation of the
+upstream project: <https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka>.  This
+practically means that we define our `private-build-plans.toml`, install
+the `npm` dependencies, and then build the `.ttf` files with the
+following command:
+
+```sh
+npm run build -- ttf::iosevka-comfy
+```
+
+The last update to Iosevka Comfy was done on 2022-01-25 using upstream
+Iosevka version `v11.2.7` at commit `f630c223`.
+
+Each file is provided as-is in the hope that it may prove useful, but
+is otherwise intended only for my private use.
+
+## Character sample and common patterns
+
+Note that for the sake of this demonstration, the point size is higher
+than the intended target range.

+This is a regular Emacs session with the default font set to point size
+10 (a `:height` face attribute of 100).  Obverse, in particular, Iosevka
+Comfy's proportions (wider, shorter line height than Iosevka) and the
+less exaggerated differences between its roman and italic characters to
+make the latter look closer to their roman counterparts without
+detracting from their subtleties (e.g. for the italic variant of Iosevka
+Comfy the `f` is not cursive, the `y` is not so curvy, the descender of
+the `g` is not closed, while the `t`, `i`, `l` have short tails, etc.).

+For Iosevka Comfy to have roughly the same line width as Iosevka, it has
+to be set at one point less.  It still has a more compact line height.
