feat: implement Phase 1 Bible reader improvements (2025 standards)

## Typography Enhancements
- Add letter spacing control (0-2px, default 0.5px for WCAG compliance)
- Add word spacing control (0-4px, default 0px)
- Add paragraph spacing control (1.0-2.5x line height, default 1.8x)
- Add max line length control (50-100ch, default 75ch for optimal readability)
- Apply WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.12 text spacing recommendations

## Multi-Color Highlighting System
- Implement 7-color highlight palette (yellow, green, blue, purple, orange, pink, red)
- Theme-aware highlight colors (light/dark/sepia modes)
- Persistent visual highlights with database storage
- Color picker UI with current highlight indicator
- Support for highlight notes and tags (infrastructure ready)
- Bulk highlight loading for performance
- Add/update/remove highlight functionality

## Database Schema
- Add Highlight model with verse relationship
- Support for color, note, tags, and timestamps
- Unique constraint per user-verse pair
- Proper indexing for performance

## API Routes
- POST /api/highlights - Create new highlight
- GET /api/highlights - Get all user highlights
- POST /api/highlights/bulk - Bulk fetch highlights for verses
- PUT /api/highlights/[id] - Update highlight color/note/tags
- DELETE /api/highlights/[id] - Remove highlight

## UI Improvements
- Enhanced settings dialog with new typography controls
- Highlight color picker menu
- Verse menu updated with highlight option
- Visual feedback for highlighted verses
- Remove highlight button in color picker

Note: Database migration pending - run `npx prisma db push` to apply schema
