General fixes (#19) 
* fix OOM crash by refactoring EpubImage to use lazy loading

- Removed raw image ByteArray from EpubImage data class to prevent OutOfMemoryErrors on large books.
- Updated EpubParser and MobiParser to only store image paths in the EpubBook object.
- Images are now loaded on-demand from disk via file URIs in WebView and Coil, reducing initial heap allocation.

* fix(tts): resolve OutOfMemoryError by removing large strings from state bundle

- Removed 'currentText' from the TtsState bundle inside MediaSession custom layout.
- Updated TtsController to retrieve the current text chunk via MediaItem metadata.
- This prevents heap exhaustion caused by high-frequency serialization of large text strings during word tracking and polling updates.
