feat(directionality): a provider to get the overall directionality

- Looks at the `html` and `body` elements for `dir` attribute and sets the Directionality service value to it
- Whenever someone would try to inject Directionality - if there's a Dir directive up the dom tree it would be provided

fixes #3600
