Fix layout is always RTL when locale is RTL

isMirrored() will always return true when locale is RTL,
so that we cannot change the layout. To fix this, remove out
the relation between LayoutMirroring.enabled and locale's text
direction.

[ChangeLog][Controls][Important Behavior Changes] Control's locale
property no longer affects layout direction. Use LayoutMirroring
instead.
