Add CHRONOLOGICAL_ORDER config option to order albums by EXIF date taken

Adds a new yes/no config setting (default no, preserving current behavior)
that orders the main album's photos by EXIF date taken (ascending) instead
of the default filename/shuffle order. Reuses the existing EXIF cache and
tag fallback chain (DateTimeOriginal -> DateTimeDigitized -> DateTime)
already used for tooltips/details/stats, so ordering never disagrees with
what those features show. Photos with no usable EXIF date fall back to
their source file's mtime, staying fully deterministic and crash-free.

CHRONOLOGICAL_ORDER takes precedence over SHUFFLE when both are enabled,
documented in album-photo-select.source.sh and docs/configuration.md.

Wired through the config registry (CONFIG_SPECS), validation, CLI flags
(--chronological/--no-chronological), --print-config, --dry-run,
--verbose logging, and shuriken.json generation metadata. Adds unit and
end-to-end tests covering default-off behavior, EXIF-date ordering with
shuffle precedence, and mtime fallback for EXIF-less photos.
