trimLefttotrimStart, andtrimRighttotrimEnd.trimLeftandtrimRightfunctions remain as deprecated aliases for these new names.Due to this change, these functions will do exactly what their names suggest in right-to-left scripts, just like in left-to-right scripts and non-string slices.
The new function names I suggested are inspired by JavaScript,12 C#,34 and Rust.56
Closes #23664
