feat: text direction plugin

[amirhhashemi]

This is PR is moved to #2963

This is a work in progress

This plugin automatically adds dir="ltr" or dir="rtl" to specified nodes based on their content. I stole the direction detection logic from lexical

I'm still new to ProseMirror and this plugin definitely needs to be polished. I appreciate your suggestions and help.

HTML (from devtools):

TODO

• add setTextDirection and unsetTextDirection commands to manually specify the node's direction. These should have more precedence over the automatically detected direction so we can force a node to have a specific direction.
• add a global attribute for direction so dir would be an actual attribute and will be in the HTML output. I still haven't figured out how to update a tiptap node's attributes within a ProseMirror plugin.
• improve performance - only update direction if needed
• add docs and update README

Why not dir="auto"?

more control

Why not a custom paragraph node?

headings and other text nodes also need it

@ahhshm I'm finding this useful, by any change can you tell me what happened to this ? Why it was closed ?

[amirhhashemi]

@gethari I accidentally removed my fork and this PR got automatically closed. I created a new one: #2963. Sorry for the confusion.

In the end, this extension didn't merge because I guess the core team didn't like it OR they didn't have the time to maintain another extension. They suggested making it my own package but I haven't had the time to do it yet. Also, some edge cases haven't been resolved.

Feel free to copy the code and use it in your project. it works fine. I have a plan to polish the code and publish
it but I'm not sure when I can do it.
