Summary description: Typeset dropped capitals

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------


The `\lettrine` command is now compatible with right to left typesetting, both with `LuaLaTeX` and `XeLaTeX` (`babel` or `polyglossia`).

A basic example `lettrine-demo-arabic.tex` has been added to the `doc` directory.

Currently with XeLaTeX, file `lettrine-xetex-bidi.def` (v0.8 [2022/11/06]) is automatically loaded by the `bidi` package; it redefines the `\@lettrine`command
based on version 2.30 of `lettrine`. This code breaks versions 2.50 and newer of the `lettrine` package, you can now safely remove `lettrine-xetex-bidi.def` if you install `lettrine` v2.60.

Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The `\lettrine` command now checks whether the dropped cap will fit
into the page. If the remaining vertical space is too short, a warning
is issued.
- A new option `nextpage` has been added to automatically shift the whole
paragraph to the top of next page in case the dropped cap doesn't fit
into the page (option not recommended, see the documentation).
