Uri Tauber 4d22256745 feat: footnote anchor navigation (#1245)
## Summary: Enable footnote anchor navigation in EPUB reader

This PR extracts the core anchor-to-page mapping mechanism from PR #1143
(TOC fragment navigation) to provide immediate footnote navigation
support. By merging this focused subset first, users get a complete
footnote experience now while simplifying the eventual review and merge
of the full #1143 PR.

## What this extracts from PR #1143

PR #1143 implements comprehensive TOC fragment navigation for EPUBs with
multi-chapter spine files. This PR takes only the anchor resolution
infrastructure:

- Anchor-to-page mapping in section cache: During page layout,
ChapterHtmlSlimParser records which page each HTML id attribute lands
on, serializing the map into the .bin cache file.
- Anchor resolution in `EpubReaderActivity`: When navigating to a
footnote link with a fragment (e.g., `chapter2.xhtml#note1`), the reader
resolves the anchor to a page number and jumps directly to it.
- Section file format change: Bumped to version 15, adds anchor map
offset in header.

## Simplified scope vs. PR #1143

To minimize conflicts and complexity, this PR differs from #1143 in key
ways:

* **Anchors tracked**
  * **Origin:** Only TOC anchors (passed via `std::set`)
  * **This branch:** All `id` attributes

* **Page breaks**
  * **Origin**: Forces new page at TOC chapter boundaries
  * **This branch:** None — natural flow

* **TOC integration**
  * **Origin**: `tocBoundaries`, `getTocIndexForPage()`, chapter skip
  * **This branch:** None — just footnote links

* **Bug fix**
  * **This branch:** Fixed anchor page off-by-1/2 bug


The anchor recording bug (recording page number before `makePages()`
flushes previous block) was identified and fixed during this extraction.
The fix uses a deferred `pendingAnchorId` pattern that records the
anchor after page completion.

## Positioning for future merge

Changes are structured to minimize conflicts when #1143 eventually
merges:

- `ChapterHtmlSlimParser.cpp` `startElement()`: Both branches rewrite
the same if `(!idAttr.empty())` block. The merged version will combine
both approaches (TOC anchors get page breaks + immediate recording;
footnote anchors get deferred recording).
- `EpubReaderActivity.cpp` `render()`: The `pendingAnchor` resolution
block is positioned at the exact same insertion point where #1143 places
its `pendingTocIndex` block (line 596, right after `nextPageNumber`
assignment). During merge, both blocks will sit side-by-side.

## Why merge separately?

1. Immediate user value: Footnote navigation works now without waiting
for the full TOC overhaul
   2. Easier review: ~100 lines vs. 500+ lines in #1143 
3. Bug fix included: The page recording bug is fixed here and will carry
into #1143
4. Minimal conflicts: Structured for clean merge — both PRs touch the
same files but in complementary ways

This directory is intended for project specific (private) libraries.
PlatformIO will compile them to static libraries and link into the executable file.

The source code of each library should be placed in a separate directory
("lib/your_library_name/[Code]").

For example, see the structure of the following example libraries `Foo` and `Bar`:

|--lib
|  |
|  |--Bar
|  |  |--docs
|  |  |--examples
|  |  |--src
|  |     |- Bar.c
|  |     |- Bar.h
|  |  |- library.json (optional. for custom build options, etc) https://docs.platformio.org/page/librarymanager/config.html
|  |
|  |--Foo
|  |  |- Foo.c
|  |  |- Foo.h
|  |
|  |- README --> THIS FILE
|
|- platformio.ini
|--src
   |- main.c

Example contents of `src/main.c` using Foo and Bar:
```
#include <Foo.h>
#include <Bar.h>

int main (void)
{
  ...
}

```

The PlatformIO Library Dependency Finder will find automatically dependent
libraries by scanning project source files.
