Paragraph Block: Add direction option to paragraph block, even if the site isn't set to an RTL language

[supernovia]

What

Gutenberg has a feature that allows people to choose the direction of text on sites that have RTL languages as their default:
WordPress/gutenberg#28221

Can we get that option somehow on non-RTL sites as well?

Why

It's not entirely uncommon for a site made in one language to have blocks in another. Consider sites for people who want to learn an RTL language, or a site for studying texts in another language though the content is primarily LTR.

It would be nice for a site that isn't RTL to have block-based RTL controls.

How

Given that this isn't a terribly common ask, but which would be useful for anyone who needs it, I'd guess an option in the paragraph's settings (Typography for example) would probably work well.

Some of our volunteers have shared their "edit the html" workarounds:

It'd be nicer still if it were easier for them to do that :)
