New extension: RTL

[github-actions[bot]]

Description

This experimental extension adds the RTL Mark character to identify text as right to left (Arabic, for example). It provides the option to use Right-to-Left Override to enforce the direction, however it reverses left-to-right text.

How to use the extension

Add the behavior and the extension will work automatically if the text is 100% rtl characters and won't affect if the text ltr. If you enabled override, it will force RTL and reverse ltr text.
