Remove Telugu normalization of vu వు to ma మ from IndicNormalizer. ### Description Telugu vu వు and ma మ are visually similar—akin to English "rn" and "m"—but they should not be conflated. Names like వెంకటరామ (Venkatarama) and వెంకటరావు (Venkatarao) and words like [మండే](https://te.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%B0%AE%E0%B0%82%E0%B0%A6%E0%B0%BF) and [వుండే](https://te.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%B0%B5%E0%B1%81%E0%B0%82%E0%B0%A6%E0%B0%BF) (links to Telugu Wiktionary) are distinct. It's like conflating _burn/bum_ and _corn/com._ It could happen when reading quickly or with poor handwriting, but it is not something that should happen for search indexing. <!-- If this is your first contribution to Lucene, please make sure you have reviewed the contribution guide. https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
