Description

According to 國字標準字體, the top part of 父 should not be connected to the bottom part.
> 下撇、捺不與上兩點相接

### Action

The three characters (斧爸釜) currently using the CN form should be remapped to the JP form. A new glyph might be required for 斧. The same modification was already done to HK except 斧 for consistency (https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans/issues/202#issuecomment-446232348).

Remap TW & HK: 爸釜, New glyph: 斧

### Extra

For best consistency, it is probably better to abandon the CN 父 for the three characters (斧爸釜). The CN glyph for 爹爺 is not connected too (notice the 多 and 耳). Also, all reference forms provided officially has the stroke disconnected.

Remap and remove TW, HK & CN: 爸釜, Edit CN glyph: 斧爷
