Bug 12068 - label-create-pdf.pl Add support for RTL  language

On top of Bug 8375

If you print a label using arabic/hebrew script,
letters are printed in logical direction, from left
to right, giving a mangled result

This patch will try to fix those cases adding a new
perl dependency, Text::Bidi, and using the automagic
feature if it's log2vis() function to rearrange chars
based on detected text 'direction'

To test:
1. Install Text::Bidi package
(apt-get install libtext-bidi-perl)

2. Try a batch, using Helvetica, with a mix of
ltr and rtl (arabic/hebrew) titles, chars are good,
but direction is bad

3. Apply the patch

4. Try again, now the result is good

Formerly a followup of Bug 8375, look sample pics
on that Bug.
