Bug ID: 57979
Summary: BetaFeatures preferences icons must have RTL versions

Beta features have icons to represent them at Special:Preferences.
They usually show a schematic representation of a MediaWiki page with a logo in
the top left corner, and this of course means that they should be flipped for
RTL languages.
Some of them are trivial - just a horizontal flip.
Some of them are less trivial - for example, in the one for the VisualEditor
formula editing I flipped the image and then flipped the Sigma icon inside it
so it would still look like Σ and not flipped.
Some of them are even less trivial, for example the icons for the font style
experiments. It shows the Latin letter A, and it's weird to show a Latin letter
in the beginning of a right-to-left text. Luckily, there are only two major
right-to-left scripts, so I made one icon for Hebrew and one for Arabic.
Some relevant sample commits by myself, already merged:
* https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/94379/
* https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/94269/
* https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/94423/
On this commit Jon and Juliusz complained that the image should be re-saved
with a smaller size and less metadata:
* https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/98159/
The SVGs from the previous merged commits may have to be re-done as well.
Any future beta features should have RTL-compatible icons from the start,
preferably done by professional designers.
