Add panel orientation setting for upside-down mounting (#455)

Adds a display.hardware.orientation config field ("normal" / "180")
so panels mounted upside down (e.g. to put the Pi/wiring on a more
convenient side) render correctly without custom pixel_mapper_config
edits. Composes onto the existing pixel_mapper_config as a trailing
"Rotate:180" mapper, so it stays independent of any custom mapper
string (e.g. U-mapper chain layouts) already in use.

Exposed as a "Panel Orientation" dropdown in the web UI's Display
settings, validated server-side, and documented in README and
CONFIG_REFERENCE.
