Description

Implement the writingDirection property for the fabric implementation of Text.

This property was available in RNW Paper via TextViewManager.

See https://reactnative.dev/docs/text-style-props#writingdirection-ios for details.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing writingDirection implementation in React Native Windows Paper and the iOS Text component for guidance. Then, add the property to the fabric Text component's native props and handle it in the view manager.
