feat: Sync Popular Articles locale with widget locale (#11754)

# Pull Request Template

## Description

This PR includes the following improvements:
* **Popular Articles Locale Selection based on Widget Locale**
  * Implements priority-based locale matching:
    * Exact locale match (e.g., "fr" === "fr")
    * Base language match (e.g., "fr" when selected is "fr_CA")
    * Variant match (e.g., "fr_BE" when selected is "fr")
* Removes default locale fallback - if no locale match is found, popular
articles section is hidden.
    
* Fixed **API** filter issue where the locale parameter was previously
ignored

* Hides Popular Articles section completely when no locale match is
found and Only shows relevant articles in the user's language


* **RTL Direction Handling Improvements**
* Now directly reads the `lang` attribute from HTML element `<html
lang="en">` instead of relying on `.locale-switcher` and sets direction
attribute based on language.

* Adds `data-dir-applied` attribute to prevent overlapping direction
settings between global helpers and components (eg case: Insert article
in editor dashboard)

* Update `IframeLoader.vue` to Composition API and improve the **dir**
logic

Fixes 
1.

* Determine the best-matching locale from the list of locales allowed by the portal.

* The matching happens in the following order:
* 1. Exact match the visitor-selected locale equals one in the `allowedLocales` list

* 2. Base language match the base part of a compound locale (before the underscore)
* matches (e.g., `fr_CA` ➜ `fr`).
* 3. Variant match when the base language is selected but a regional variant exists
* in the portal list (e.g., `fr` ➜ `fr_BE`).

* If none of these rules find a match, the function returns `null`,
* Don't show popular articles if locale doesn't match with allowed locales
