Add a rule to detect LTR properties

[lewisnyman]

Drupal has a requirement to support RTL languages, this is a lot of work to achieve and often slips through our review process. I want to make csslint a formal part of our review process and having a rule that detects LTR specific properties would be a great help.

I've opened the equivalent issue to track this on Drupal.org here:

Do you hand roll LTR files or generate them with something like CSSJanus?

We used to hand roll separate files, which was a maintenance nightmare. Now we've switched to using [dir="rtl"] selectors directly after the LTR CSS in Drupal 8.

I've never seen CSSJanus before, interesting! I'll ask around if it's been tried previously.

I had a lot of fun working on this rule, the test process is great!

I don't know if this rule should be added to csslint or if it's applicable to everyone, but it would be nice to get some feedback.

@lewisnyman BTW, there is also a php version of cssjanus. We use it in MediaWiki and it really saves you a ton of trouble.
