I18N: Add dir="auto" to Timezone dropdown options.

This changeset adds dir="auto" to the Timezones dropdown located in Settings > General. With this attribute, the option alignment will be delegated to the user agent.

@see ​https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Global_attributes/dir.

Props farhad0, swissspidy, drysand, sabernhardt, khoipro, olmostblue, sajib1223.
