feat(i18n): Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu, and a layout that mirrors; release v6.4.0

Four right-to-left languages at /ar/, /he/, /fa/ and /ur/ — thirteen in all. The layout no longer has a left and a right, it has a start and an end: the margins, insets and corners are CSS logical properties now, so they follow dir on <html>. Directional glyphs flip; keys, safety codes and session descriptors are pinned left-to-right so bidi cannot reorder what two people compare against each other's screens. Also fixed: the Service Worker was registered as './sw.js', which 404s from every locale subdirectory, so twelve of the thirteen pages had no worker at all. And the bundler ran before the dictionaries were generated, so a newly added language could reach the page ahead of the app that renders it.
