tdf118361_poc.patch: docx import proof of concept

This is my understanding of the current situation. In LO, the default values of
the Page Style are changed based on the locale. Arabic locale changes default
for Page format - Footnote - Position to RIGHT. Any new documents will get this
default, as will imports that don't specify a value .

.docx file doesn't provide the location of the separator as a property. It
appears to depend on the value of the default paragraph style (based on my
observations). If the default style is RTL, the separator is RIGHT aligned.

So, since this is a direct property that doesn't "mean different things
depending on RTL settings", it should be safe to import doc/docx by testing the
default paragraph style.
