RTL text inside the element is reversed and is unreadable

The fix in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207214 has caused Web Inspector to display RTL text completely reversed making RTL text content used inside elements completely unreadable. There is fortunately a solution to this that won't regress the fix there and to use "unicode-bidi: isolate" instead "unicode-bidi: isolate-override;" and I've applied the fix locally checking whether it won't regress the original issue and also fixes this disturbing issue.

Test page used in the attachment to show the issue:

  data:text/html;charset=utf8,سیب

"unicode-bidi: bidi-override" (and now the recently introduced isolate-override) is really something of past and was designed to make compatibility with text written before bidi and unicode era and is something should be and is avoided by modern web development.
