New extension: RTL

[github-actions]

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.

Yes, it is.
However, since the whole thing was done in less than 24 hours, the extension is rather primitive but still functional.
I may rewrite it from scratch using JavaScript and commit some breaking changes before the end of this month (deadline: 1 June 2024).
