Okay, this line caught my attention, so I just did this test — not sure whether it's the correct behavior or not.
- Landscape mode
- I set rotation to 90°
- Preview is fine, then I capture
- The result contains an extra 90° of rotation

This PR tackles the inconsistent QtCamera photo orientation (auto-orientation / azimuth-related mismatch) by introducing a simple manual override that the user can set once and keep.
What changed
Applies the same selected rotation to the captured image file (pixels are rotated and orientation tags normalized) so that:
Why
QtCamera / platform auto-orientation is unreliable across devices, and I can understand why qt cannot come with a rigid fix for this, as there are thousands of devices with different mechanism within it and for one universal fix. Persisting a user-selected rotation is a pragmatic fallback that prevents repeated wrong-orientation captures without forcing a single hardcoded behavior.
