RTL content and browser chrome

New tests

This is a set of pages that examine how right-to-left and bidirectional text affects user agents outside of the main content area.

The tests seek to determine whether a user agent handles browser crome differently when the html, or the body, or the head element has the dir attribute set to rtl. Some user agents move the vertical scrollbar and display javascript popup boxes right-to-left in certain circumstances.
