feat: add png jpeg support (#556)

## Summary
- Add embedded image support to EPUB rendering with JPEG and PNG
decoders
- Implement pixel caching system to cache decoded/dithered images to SD
card for faster re-rendering
- Add 4-level grayscale support for display
## Changes
### New Image Rendering System
- Add `ImageBlock` class to represent an image with its cached path and
display dimensions
- Add `PageImage` class as a new `PageElement` type for images on pages
- Add `ImageToFramebufferDecoder` interface for format-specific image
decoders
- Add `JpegToFramebufferConverter` - JPEG decoder with Bayer dithering
and scaling
- Add `PngToFramebufferConverter` - PNG decoder with Bayer dithering and
scaling
- Add `ImageDecoderFactory` to select appropriate decoder based on file
extension
- Add `getRenderMode()` to GfxRenderer for grayscale render mode queries
### Dithering and Grayscale
- Implement 4x4 Bayer ordered dithering for 4-level grayscale output
- Stateless algorithm works correctly with MCU block decoding
- Handles scaling without artifacts
- Add grayscale render mode support (BW, GRAYSCALE_LSB, GRAYSCALE_MSB)
- Image decoders and cache renderer respect current render mode
- Enables proper 4-level e-ink grayscale when anti-aliasing is enabled
### Pixel Caching
- Cache decoded/dithered images to `.pxc` files on SD card
- Cache format: 2-bit packed pixels (4 pixels per byte) with
width/height header
- On subsequent renders, load directly from cache instead of re-decoding
- Cache renderer supports grayscale render modes for multi-pass
rendering
- Significantly improves page navigation speed for image-heavy EPUBs
### HTML Parser Integration
- Update `ChapterHtmlSlimParser` to process `<img>` tags and extract
images from EPUB
- Resolve relative image paths within EPUB ZIP structure
- Extract images to cache directory before decoding
- Create `PageImage` elements with proper scaling to fit viewport
- Fall back to alt text display if image processing fails
### Build Configuration
- Add `PNG_MAX_BUFFERED_PIXELS=6402` to support up to 800px wide images

  ### Test Script
                                
  - Generate test EPUBs with annotated JPEG and PNG images
- Test cases cover: grayscale (4 levels), centering, scaling, cache
performance
  
## Test plan
- [x] Open EPUB with JPEG images - verify images display with proper
grayscale
- [x] Open EPUB with PNG images - verify images display correctly and no
crash
- [x] Navigate away from image page and back - verify faster load from
cache
- [x] Verify grayscale tones render correctly (not just black/white
dithering)
- [x] Verify large images are scaled down to fit screen
- [x] Verify images are centered horizontally
- [x] Verify page serialization/deserialization works with images
  - [x] Verify images rendered in landscape mode
