tareqziad1998andClaude Opus 5.5 8dcc64bd2f Type: paragraph direction buttons in the Paragraph panel and options bar (TYPE-218-2, #218)
The engine has had TextDirection (Auto / LTR / RTL) and type.setStyle's "direction" key, but
nothing in the UI set it. Now:

- Window > Paragraph and the Properties Paragraph section have a row of three buttons under the
  alignment row: Automatic, Left-to-right and Right-to-left paragraph direction. They set the
  selected layers' direction (or the selected text's paragraphs while typing) in one undo step,
  and show the current one.
- The Type options bar has the same three buttons after its alignment buttons. Like alignment,
  they also set the direction new type starts with (new tool option `type_direction`, "auto" by
  default, reset with the tool's other options).
- The glyph is drawn (a pilcrow over an arrow), so no new icon asset.
- The three tooltips are translated in all 20 catalogs (every_tl_literal_is_translated).

Tests: paragraph_direction_buttons_set_and_show_the_direction and
options_bar_direction_sets_selected_layers_and_new_type.

TYPE-218-2 goes from missing to partial: the visual RTL caret (arrow keys moving on screen
rather than in logical order) is still to do. scorecard/type.toml, docs/scorecard.md and
docs/gaps.md (G8) are updated.
