port: upstream PRs #1311 (inter-word spacing fix) and #1322 (zip early exit)

PR #1311: Replace separate spaceWidth + getSpaceKernAdjust() with a
single getSpaceAdvance() that combines space glyph advance and kerning
in fixed-point before snapping to pixels, eliminating +/-1 px rounding
drift in text layout.

PR #1322: Add early exit to fillUncompressedSizes() once all target
entries are matched, avoiding unnecessary central directory traversal.

Also updates tracking docs and verifies PR #1329 (reader utils refactor)
matches upstream after merge.

+# Restore Preferred Orientation Settings and Long-Press Sub-Menu
+
+**Date**: 2026-03-08
+**Branch**: mod/master
+**Commit**: 0d8a3fd
+
+## Task
+
+Restore two orientation preference features lost during the upstream PR resync:
+1. Settings UI entries for preferred portrait/landscape modes
+2. Long-press sub-menu on the reader menu's orientation toggle
+
+## Changes
+
+### Settings UI and Persistence
+- **`src/SettingsList.h`**: Added `DynamicEnum` entries for `preferredPortrait` (Portrait/Inverted) and `preferredLandscape` (Landscape CW/Landscape CCW) in the Reader settings category. Uses getter/setter lambdas to map between sequential indices and non-sequential orientation enum values.
+- **`src/JsonSettingsIO.cpp`**: Added manual JSON save/load for both fields with validation (rejects invalid orientation values, falls back to defaults).
+
+### Long-Press Orientation Sub-Menu
+- **`src/activities/reader/EpubReaderMenuActivity.h`**: Added `orientationSubMenuOpen`, `orientationSubMenuIndex`, and `ignoreNextConfirmRelease` state flags.
+- **`src/activities/reader/EpubReaderMenuActivity.cpp`**:
+  - `loop()`: Long-press (700ms) on Confirm when the orientation item is selected opens the sub-menu. Sub-menu handles its own Up/Down/Confirm/Back input. Added `ignoreNextConfirmRelease` guard to prevent the long-press release from immediately selecting.
+  - `render()`: When sub-menu is open, renders a centered list of all 4 orientations with the current one marked with `*`. Uses the same gutter/hint layout as the main menu.
+
+## Follow-up
+
+- Hardware testing needed for both features
+- Translations for `STR_PREFERRED_PORTRAIT` and `STR_PREFERRED_LANDSCAPE` only exist in English; other languages fall back automatically
