Patch to correct the sorting order of 0D36 and 0D37

The Malayalam characters à(U+0D36) and à(U+0D37) should be sorted just like the
order of they unicode code points. In the master version of glibc, the order is
swapped.

It sorts à(U+0D36) after à(U+0D37) which is a bug in the patch I submitted long
time back(Bug 12541)

$ LANG=ml_IN.UTF-8 sort ~/sort.txt
à

This is wrong.

With the attached patch, I will get and it is correct.

$ LANG=ml_IN.UTF-8 sort ~/sort.txt
à

The mistake was probably happened because of confusing naming of Unicode
characters that have very similar pronunciation.
