perf(reader): stop per-frame background reflow on swipe page turns (#4785) (#4814)

Fixes readest/readest#4785

Swipe page turns dropped frames, worst when crossing .xhtml section
boundaries. The paginator's #replaceBackground rebuilt its whole paint
context every animation frame (a getComputedStyle plus one
getBoundingClientRect per rendered view), and that per-frame cost scales
with the number of loaded views, which peaks at a boundary where adjacent
sections are preloaded.

Bumps the foliate-js submodule to 15fc999 (readest/foliate-js#41) to
snapshot the paint context once per gesture and reuse it on every frame,
and to defer the heavy mid-drag section preload off the active drag. The
bump also advances foliate-js to current main, picking up the
gpu-composite page-turn opt-in (readest/foliate-js#39).

Adds a real-browser test that drives an animated turn and a synthetic drag
and asserts the section <html> computed style is read a small constant
number of times instead of once per frame (snap 39 -> <=3, drag 7 -> <=1).

// Performance regression test for the swipe page-turn frame drops at chapter
// boundaries (readest/readest#4785).
//
// In paginated mode the paginator keeps the per-section backgrounds glued to the
// content during an animated page turn by repainting them every animation frame
// (the #replaceBackground / syncBackground loop). The original implementation
// rebuilt the whole paint *context* every frame: a getComputedStyle() on the
// primary section's <html> plus one getBoundingClientRect() per rendered view.
// Those are forced style/layout reads, and their cost scales with the number of
// loaded views — which peaks exactly when adjacent sections are preloaded at a
// chapter boundary, so the swipe animation dropped frames there.
//
// Everything that read context is invariant for the duration of a single scroll
// animation (theme/texture, the background+container geometry, each view's size
// and resolved background) — only the scroll offset changes. So the context must
// be snapshotted once when the animation starts and reused every frame; the
// per-frame work must NOT re-run getComputedStyle on the section document.
//
// This test drives a real animated turn and asserts the primary section's
// getComputedStyle is read at most a small constant number of times across the
// whole turn (not once per frame).
