The reproducible-builds help icon next to the Versions header always rendered the LTR ? glyph. Adding android:autoMirrored=true lets it flip horizontally in RTL locales so it reads as the Arabic ؟. Fixes Droid-ify#1229

Fix RTL rendering of reproducible-builds help icon
What
The help icon (
?) displayed next to the Versions section header (which links to information about reproducible builds) was always rendered as the left-to-right Latin question mark, even when the application was running in a right-to-left (RTL) locale such as Arabic.In Arabic, the correct question mark is
؟, which is visually mirrored compared to the Latin?. Since the drawable was not configured for RTL mirroring, the icon appeared inconsistent with the rest of the localized interface.Before
Help icon rendered as
?in Arabic (RTL) layouts.After
Help icon is automatically mirrored and rendered as
؟in RTL layouts.No visual changes in LTR locales.
Change
Enabled automatic RTL mirroring for the question mark vector drawable by adding:
This allows Android to automatically mirror the drawable when the layout direction is RTL while preserving the existing appearance in LTR locales.
Testing
Tested by switching the device language to Arabic and verifying that:
The help icon next to the Versions section is mirrored correctly.
The icon remains unchanged in LTR locales.
No regressions were observed in the surrounding UI.
