JDK-8323880 - Caret rendered at wrong position in case of a click event on RTL text
Description
Following DRT tests fail if the text rendering method is switched to take always complex text rendering path.
fast/dom/Document/CaretRangeFromPoint/rtl.html
editing/selection/click-left-of-rtl-wrapping-text.html -> fix under review
editing/selection/modify-up-on-rtl-wrapping-text.html 
For the fix we have adopted (JDK-8323880) two paths simple/complex path rendering based on text rendering mode.
Comments
Upstream WebKit has switched to using the complex text path in all cases, so we need to fix this before the next WebKit update. We cannot count on the older simple text path to continue to work.
