[Feature Request] Web reader: Don't notify about explicit reading direction if the same as the default

[mihailim]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

For comics where an explicit reading direction is set (e.g. by inferring it from ComicInfo.xml via Manga: No), the web reader interface pops up the snackReadingDirection snackbar irrespective of whether the explicitly set reading direction is actually the same as the user's default reading direction preference. This is a bit annoying since it doesn't convey any useful information ("nothing was changed!") and has to be dismissed every time. The logic is implemented in BookReader.vue here.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful to only pop up snackReadingDirection iff book.metadata.readingDirection differs from settings.readingDirection, i.e. something along these lines here:

      // bypass setter so cookies aren't set
      if (this.settings.readingDirection != this.book.metadata.readingDirection) {
        this.settings.readingDirection = this.book.metadata.readingDirection
        this.snackReadingDirection = true
      }

(Didn't send a PR since I'm not really familiar with Vue :smile: )

Thank you!
