Auto scroll update (#7) 
* updated auto-scroll logic for EPUB and PDF

* Refactored auto-scroll to use temporary debounced pauses instead of hard stops on manual interaction.
* Updated tap handling to allow toggling bars without interrupting scroll.
* Added a 2-second orientation pause on EPUB chapter transitions.
* Enhanced AutoScrollControls UI with circular progress overlay to indicate the "temporarily paused" state.

* Refactored auto-scroll controls

This commit refactors the auto-scroll controls for both EPUB and PDF readers, introducing a more advanced and user-friendly interface.

Key changes:
- Redesigned the auto-scroll controls UI into a collapsible and lockable card.
- Added a "lock" feature to hide controls during scrolling.
- Introduced an alternative slider-based input for speed adjustment, which can be toggled.
- Persisted the lock and input mode states in SharedPreferences.
- Improved the EPUB auto-scroll mechanism using `translate3d` for smoother sub-pixel scrolling.
