Implement bidi-sensitive movement with arrow keys. src/bidi.c (bidi_paragraph_init): Don't leave alone garbage values of bidi_it->paragraph_dir. Call bidi_initialize if needed. src/xdisp.c (Fcurrent_bidi_paragraph_direction): New function. (syms_of_xdisp): Defsubr it. src/cmds.c (Fforward_char, Fbackward_char): Doc fix. src/subr.el (right-arrow-command, left-arrow-command): New functions. src/bindings.el (global-map): Bind them to right and left arrow keys. etc/NEWS: Mention current-bidi-paragraph-direction
