Add option to rotate screen based on sensor #654

It would be great to have an option to bypass the android rotation setting and have the screen to rotate based on the sensor.

I think having the following option will cover all different cases:

Screen orientation:

I hardly change my android screen orientation, I normally have it locked, but I change it everytime I use Lemuroid.

I noticed that in Android 12+ there is a shortcut to manually rotate the screen even when "auto-rotation" is deactivated.

This works very well with lemuroid. One simply needs to tilt the screen and then press the rotation shortcut that appears.

A dedicated setting would be nice, but this actually works quite fine already.
The issue can be closed for me.

I feel like having to manually rotate the screen via the OS' options every single time is a very cheap workaround. even with Android 12's indicator (that works very inconsistently, is very annoying and is not meant to be used like this), I still think this is a very serious usability issue.
