Fini Jastrow 59c5cb5a1f font-patcher: Patch in heavy angle brackets
[why]
The heavy angle brackets (276E and 276F) are used for a lot of prompts,
but we do not yet patch them in and a lot of fonts do not bring them
themselves.

[how]
One time rip the glyphs out from Hack and patch them in always, but
careful (do not replace existing glyph).
We take the whole set 276C - 2771.

[note]
Usually we should never again need to run the generate-extraglyphs
script, we rip them out now and they look good. Whatever Hack does with
new versions we can follow but that is optional.
