Improvements to Cyrillic glyphs

[rsms]

As #567 never really made it into production, let's make whatever improvements to Cyrillic that I can manage

After bae1c01:

CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BE "б" was redesigned after reading https://typejournal.ru/en/articles/Cyrillic-Be-Vision

[ravid-dubsteper]

your shape of the letter -б- is a bit complicated, so I suggest updating the old version

Hello, @rsms! I was wondering if there is an ETA for the different forms of Cyrillic, such as Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian, Ukrainian, etc.? Are they already in development?

Also wondering about extended Cyrillic support, esp. Bulgarian letterforms.

[rsms]

Thank you for the thoughtful suggestion @ravid-dubsteper!

@XenBG [...] I was wondering if there is an ETA for the different forms of Cyrillic [...]

It sounds like someone promised you these? I'm afraid there are no plans for localized letterforms at this time. I'm not a native Cyrillic person so I wouldn't be able to do a good job anyways. If a Cyrillic-expert type designer would want to help, I'd be delighted to work with them :)

I assumed that in version 4 you would also work on glyphs designed according to modern Bulgarian typography, which is why I decided to ask. It seems, however, that you don't have plans to do this independently, for which I apologize. I had no idea. Nevertheless, I have forwarded this information to a professional typographer with extensive experience and work on popular fonts for major names in the industry, who may be able to assist you.

@rsms I think I know someone who might be interested and has the sufficient expertise, at least when it comes to the Bulgarian letterforms @vlaeslav
