function of click on image being selectable by settings #1422

Description

@rjmaris

As a newbie to Lychee I got somewhat confused regarding the click on image. I'd expect that the system then changes to the original size and have pan&zoom ability. Just like in Wikipedia. Having said this, this experience on another platform induces the confusion.
Before I grasped it, I wondered why the photo description seemed to fail sometimes quite without reason. Then I entered the settings page, and saw an empty entry in the EXIF data overlay dropdown box. A simple off & on again on of the appropriate switch 'resolved' my problem...

Later on I read that clicking on image toggles EXIF/description text on/off. Because I guess that other visitors of my Lychee-photo collection could also get confused, I write a little notice to this very aspect upon invitation.

Proposal

The addition of an alternative functionality à la Wikipedia and a new setting that allows the selection of description toggle or just zoom&pan via original size. The latter is especially helpful on my panoramic views. The desire to scroll through them horizontally is quite natural, and should better not be reached only via (almost hidden) "open original"...
The description on/off functionality could be duplicated as another user action.

Note: experienced with version 4.0.8 (because of Vserver running Debian buster). But the behaviour could also be verified on the demo site (https://lycheeorg.github.io/demo/) which runs 4.21...
