Summary:
When using imageFlippedForRightToLeftLayoutDirection to flip image in RTL languages for attributed string the image won’t be flipped.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. switch the device to RTL language (Arabic or Hebrew)
2. Run the Attached sample project 
3. observe the two sample labels with text and image.

Expected Results:
1. Arrow on both labels should point to the left.

Actual Results:
1. Arrow on first label that used imageFlippedForRightToLeftLayoutDirection is pointing to the right (WRONG).
2. Arrow n the second label that is using CGIImage flip is pointing to the left (CORRECT).

Regression:
This happen on all iOS devices when using RTL language.

Notes:
We are using the CGImage as a workaround until this is fixed.
