62a17b841f Bidi: auto-detect RTL paragraph direction when typing Kurdish, Arabic and Hebrew (#713)
* Bidi: auto-detect RTL paragraph direction and keep typing caret advancing smoothly

When typing in Kurdish, Arabic or Hebrew in a new document, default
paragraph direction (bidi: None) was resolving to LTR. In an LTR
paragraph, visual reordering pinned newly typed characters and the
caret to the left margin (x = 72.0), resetting to the start of the line
with every keystroke.

- Add first_strong_is_rtl() following UAX #9 rules P2/P3.
- Auto-resolve unassigned paragraph direction to RTL in layout when the
  paragraph starts with an RTL script.
- Auto-promote paragraph to RTL (bidi = Some(true)) when typing text
  starting with an RTL character.
- Add regression test in wordcraft-engine.

* Review fixes for #713: RTL only when typing into an empty paragraph

- Drop the layout fallback that drew any paragraph without w:bidi as RTL when its first
  strong character is Arabic/Hebrew: opened DOCX paragraphs keep their direction, and a
  style that sets bidi=false is respected.
- type_text promotes a paragraph to RTL only when it had no letters before the insert and
  nothing (paragraph, style chain, document defaults) sets its direction; typing into a
  paragraph that already has text no longer flips it.
- docs/typing-parity.md: Text direction section; test in tests_typing.rs.
