[commit] BiDi text and BiDi selection bugfixes, selection fixes

[Bill Haneman <bi...@ireland.sun.com>]

Hi:

I have committed a number of small changes to text selection.
It should behave a little better when exiting a text element,
and also I put in some fixes that allow correct selection behavior
when selecting text with bidirectional elements.  There are
some outstanding changes needed for complete BiDi support of
"unicode-bidi" and "direction" attributes, but we have enough
for most cases now.

I have also reviewed our results with text BE tests - will report in
a later email.

I have updated status.xml, and also todo.xml.  I added a todo regarding
a new text layouter and put myself against that task... if Dean or
anyone else thinks they should be listed against it along with or
instead of me, let me know.

I have added a not-so-pretty - but interesting - test file,
textBiDi.svg.
You can see our support for unicode and BiDi text selection there :-)

-Bill
