admin CSS: .code, code should have direction:ltr (for rtl installations)

[panuy]

selectors .code, code indicate code, which is 100% of the times english text that must be aligned to the left, and have left-to-right directionality.

if the administration panel is in RTL mode, the code textboxes are reversed, and it is nearly impossible to edit them.

the suggested code will not affect LTR installations.

suggested fix at wp-admin-rtl.dev.css file:

.code, code {

direction: ltr;
(...)

}

I agree, this is a very good idea. <code> tag has no rtl text, so it has to have left-to-right direction.

So, what's the best way for here: unicode-bidi: override; or direction: ltr;?

Replying to azaozz:

With direction the entire block is displayed from left to right. With unicode-bidi you use it when the text has several languages.

For example when a text has both English and Hebrew we need to use unicode-bidi to fix visual issues. But code blocks has only English text, so we need to set only the direction.
