[XeTeX] ToUnicode CMap for font "Wingdings-Regular"

Wingdings is not a Unicode font, it is a Symbol font. Therefore, it has 
a 3.0 (Symbol) cmap rather than a 3.1 (Unicode) cmap. But this is normal 
for a TrueType-flavored OpenType font, so XeTeX should process it 
normally and not raise warnings.
