In RTL, a recycled horizontal ScrollView starts scrolled to the end instead of the start. The first mount is fine, but every remount (unmount/mount, navigating back and forth) opens at the end.

The cause is the reset order in prepareForRecycle. In RTL the scroll view is mirrored with scaleX(-1), so UIKit reports zoomScale == -1. We reset contentOffset to 0 first, then set zoomScale = 1.0. UIKit treats that as a real zoom change and moves contentOffset to the max offset. The view is mirrored again on reuse, so it opens at the logical end. JS doesn't get an onScroll, so it still thinks the offset is 0.

This regressed in 0.84 with the zoom reset (#54668). #55804 fixed the container frame but not the offset. It only shows when the content is wider than the scroll view.

The fix is to reset zoomScale before contentOffset, so the offset reset runs last.
