* Add option to keep or reset article sort order when navigating

Adds a new per-user reading option, "Keep the current sort order when
navigating between categories and feeds" (config key: sticky_sort), under
Settings > Reading > "Left navigation: Categories". It defaults to enabled,
which reproduces the current behaviour exactly.

Background (addresses #8953)
----------------------------
Once a sort/order was active in one view, it was propagated to every sidebar
link and to the "mark all as read" redirect. Opening another category then
ignored that category's own defaultSort/defaultOrder, because FreshRSS_Context
only applies those defaults when sort/order are absent from the request. As a
result the current view's sort (whether chosen manually or resolved from that
view's default) "bled" into the next category/feed.

Behaviour of the new option
---------------------------
- ON (default): unchanged. The current sort/order stays sticky while
  navigating, exactly as before.
- OFF: sidebar links and the "mark all as read" redirect no longer carry
  sort/order, so each target resolves its own order in FreshRSS_Context:
  feed/category defaultSort/defaultOrder, falling back to the global Reading
  sort criterion when none is configured.

order/sort propagation across the UI (for reference)
----------------------------------------------------
- Categories & feeds (sidebar): now gated by sticky_sort (app/layout/aside_feed.phtml).
- "Mark all as read" -> next category, both the top navigation button and the
  stream-footer button: now gated by sticky_sort
  (app/Controllers/entryController.php::readAction, non-AJAX redirect).
- Custom user queries: unaffected. A query's link is a self-contained URL built
  from that query's own saved parameters, so switching query A -> B never
  carried A's sort; no option is needed there.
- Stream transition links when sorting by category/feed name: intentionally
  left unchanged (out of scope; the sort is intrinsic to that grouping).

Compatibility
-------------
- Not a breaking change: the default (true) reproduces the previous behaviour.
- No database migration. The setting is a standard user configuration value
  with its default declared in config-user.default.php, so existing users keep
  the previous behaviour transparently.
- The read/unread state filter still persists across navigation regardless of
  this option.
