KHD-512 Force user line spacing in ePubs (Part 2 of 2)

3.19.5761 (0e028f3185) librmsdk.so.1.0.0 no 3.3.0 - 3.19.5761+

This is part 2 of 2. Also enable part 1 in libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch This patch prevents any line-height style set in the book's stylesheet from being recognised. It will spoil the formatting of some books, but will ensure that the line spacing set with the adjustment slider takes effect. (Unless the publisher has used the font shorthand style; see option below.)

#
# Uncomment the following two lines to also prevent the font shorthand style
# from being recognised. The font shorthand style is not very common in ePubs,
# but where used it can also prevent the line spacing from being adjusted.
# Beware that this option will likely have much bigger side-effects on the
# book's formatting, because the font shorthand style is used to set the
# font-size, font family, and other styles in addition to line-height.
