More granular options to ss01 and alternatives for (== and != and === and !==) #375

Description
The ss01 option includes these ligatures seemingly inspired by Fira Code's liga:
==becomes a wide equal sign with no visible gap!=adds a slash across this=====becomes a stack of three dashes!==adds a slash across this===
I was never fond of this, as it makes = and == less distinguishable and obfuscates the meaning of ===. Thankfully, Fira Code offers an alternative via ss08:
==merges somewhat but retains a small gap!=adds a slash across this==but the gap remains noticeable===merges somewhat but retains small gaps!==adds a slash across the middle=of this===
It would be nice if these were also available in Monaspace.
That said, this draws attention to a bigger issue: ss01 includes many unrelated ligatures that you wouldn't want enabled in all contexts. For instance, the substitutions for !~, ~~, =~ and ~~ would make no sense in languages where ~ is the binary inverse operator, yet you can't leave them out if you want to enable the substitutions for != and !==.
