## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
When viewing a page with images and anti-aliasing enabled, the
`imagePageWithAA` path renders the page twice with fast refreshes (blank
image area, then restore). Both passes called `renderStatusBar()`, which
reads the battery percentage live. If the value changed between the two
renders (e.g. 88% -> 87%), the digits would overlap on screen.
Fix: Removed the redundant `renderStatusBar()` from the second BW
render. The status bar is already drawn and displayed in the first pass,
and only the image area needs restoration.

Store per-page paragraph indices in section cache to enable precise
XPath-to-page and page-to-XPath mapping without reparsing XHTML.
Forward path (upload): generates XPath directly from paragraph LUT
instead of byte-offset estimation, eliminating drift in chapters
with non-uniform content density.
Reverse path (download): resolves incoming KOReader XPath p[N] to
the exact page via paragraph LUT lookup.
Paragraph counter counts all <p> elements including display:none
to match ChapterXPathIndexer and crengine's standard XPath counting.

## Summary
* A simple tweak to pre-index the next chapter silently during normal
reading.
* Triggers silent pre-indexing of the next chapter when the penultimate
page of a chapter is rendered to reduce visible interruptions.
* Keeps existing indexing with popup when a reader jumps directly into
an unindexed chapter.
## Additional Context
* Reader input is temporarily blocked during silent indexing to avoid
navigation/index state conflicts.
* The penultimate page is used because readers typically spend longer
there than on the final page.
* This change optimizes linear reading flow while preserving reliable
indexing for non-linear navigation.
## Possible Improvements
* Add a setting for First Page Indexing vs Penultimate Page Pre-indexing
* Display an indexing icon in the status bar instead of using a popup
that overlaps book text.

## Purpose
This PR includes some preparatory changes that are needed for an
upcoming performant CJK font feature. The changes have no impact on
render time and heap allocation for latin text. **Despite this, I think
these changes stand on their own as a better font
compression/decompression implementation.**
## Summary
- Font decompressor rewrite: Replaced the 4-slot LRU group cache with a
two-tier system — a page buffer (glyphs prewarmed before rendering
begins) and a hot-group fallback (last decompressed group retained for
non-prewarmed
glyphs).
- Byte-aligned compressed bitmap format: Glyph bitmaps within compressed
groups are now stored row-padded rather than tightly packed before
DEFLATE compression, improving compression ratios by making identical
pixel rows produce
identical byte patterns. Glyphs are compacted back to packed format on
demand at render time. Reduces flash size by 155 KB.
- Page prewarm system: Added `Page::collectText` and
`Page::getDominantStyle` to extract per-style glyph requirements before
rendering, and `GfxRenderer::prewarmFontCache` to pre-decompress only
the groups needed for the dominant style
— eliminating mid-render decompression for the common case.
- UTF-8 robustness fixes: `utf8NextCodepoint` now validates continuation
bytes and returns a replacement glyph on malformed input;
`ChapterHtmlSlimParser` correctly preserves incomplete multi-byte
sequences across word-buffer flush
boundaries rather than splitting them.
