Feature Request: Auto layout based on image orientation

Problem

Currently, the layout is fixed regardless of the orientation of the displayed image.
For example, with splitview, portrait images are shown side by side which can look awkward,
and with single, landscape images are fine but portrait images leave large empty spaces.

Proposed Solution

Add two new auto-layout modes:

auto-landscape (optimized for landscape screen):

• Landscape photos → show 1 image (single)
• Portrait photos → show 2 images side by side (splitview)

auto-portrait (optimized for portrait screen):

• Portrait photos → show 1 image (single)
• Landscape photos → show 2 images stacked (splitview-landscape)

Use Case

Users with a landscape TV/monitor want:

• Full-screen display for landscape photos
• Split view for portrait photos to avoid large black bars

Expected Behavior

Kiosk automatically switches layout per image based on its orientation.

Current Workaround

None. Layout must be set manually and remains fixed.

This is how split-view currently works.

If you visit https://demo.immichkiosk.app on your phone you will see landscape images stacked on top of each other. Then if you rotate your phone to landscape it will change to side by side portrait images.
