Support MS-Windows build and reversed rows in GUI frames; add initial docs.
doc/emacs/mule.texi (International): Mention support of
bidirectional editing.
(Bidirectional Editing): New section.
etc/HELLO: Reorder Arabic and Hebrew into logical order, and
insert RLM before the opening paren, to make the display more
reasonable. Add setting for bidi-display-reordering in the local
variables section.
lisp/files.el: Make bidi-display-reordering safe variable for
boolean values.
src/xdisp (append_glyph): If the glyph row is reversed, prepend the
glyph rather than appending it.
src/makefile.w32-in (OBJ1): Add $(BLD)/bidi.$(O).
($(BLD)/bidi.$(O)): New target.
