fix(response-viewer): lay out Persian, Arabic and Hebrew right to left (#715)

The Response Viewer and the File Viewer's markdown view gave no block a
dir, so a right-to-left answer was left-aligned with its punctuation on
the wrong end and its bullets and quote bar on the left.

_renderMarkdown now gives each outermost prose block dir="auto" (nested
blocks inherit, so a list keeps its markers on one side), pins pre and
code to dir="ltr", and keeps a dir the agent wrote. _linkifyFilePaths
pins the path anchors it creates to ltr. Because dir="auto" skips
descendants that carry a dir, code and paths no longer decide a
sentence's direction. The list indent, quote bar and table borders move
to logical properties, and the phone Compose textarea gets dir="auto".

The terminal pane is unchanged: xterm.js has no right-to-left support
(xtermjs/xterm.js#701).

/**
* @fileoverview Right-to-left text in rendered markdown (`CodemanApp._renderMarkdown`, issue #715).
*
* The Response Viewer and the File Viewer's markdown view rendered every block left to
* right, so a Persian, Arabic or Hebrew answer was left-aligned, its punctuation landed on
* the wrong end and its list markers sat on the left. `_renderMarkdown` now gives each
* OUTERMOST prose block `dir="auto"` (the browser picks the direction from the block's own
* first letter) and pins code to `dir="ltr"`, which also keeps a code span from deciding a
* sentence's direction, since `dir="auto"` skips descendants that carry a `dir`.
*
* jsdom does not resolve `dir="auto"`, so this pins the attributes the browser acts on;
* what Chromium makes of them was checked by eye when the change was made.
*
* Drives the SHIPPING artifacts (vendored `marked`, vendored DOMPurify + `sanitize-html.js`,
* `constants.js` and `app.js`) in a `vm` with a jsdom document, the technique from
* response-viewer-external-links.test.ts. No port / server needed.
