Hi,

This resolves https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1677210.

This is caused because the GAL ruler tool didn't reset its text
mirroring flag before drawing bitmap text. This means if the GAL had
just drawn mirrored text, it would be set, but this is invalid for
OpenGL bitmap fonts (and if it were, would still be incorrect).

I also reset bold/italic, though bitmaps text doesn't seem to care
about that at all.

This fixes the bug. In the longer run, this is still not really ideal,
as every draw-er on the GAL seems to need to reset every single
parametert that it might need. If a parameter is added, all these
"reset loci" need to be vetted for possibly adding or resetting that
parameter.

Would some kind of stack mechanism make sense here? Unrelated
functions probably should start from a blank slate of some sort. Maybe
a way to avoid unnecessary stack shuffling if you /know/ you don't
need to reset GAL parameters and it's a performance hit to do so
needlessly?

Cheers,

John
