Revert to using statusBarOrientation, fix usesensor on ios, bump vers…

Open source →

Additional notes2 sources agree

Slightly breaking change - on iOS, the sensor was used regardless of what was passed to useSensor due to a bug. This meant that even with UI rotation disabled, rotation events occured.
Also switched back to using StatusBarOrientation. It isn't actually deprecated, just not advised for normal iOS usage. However, it does what I want and is consistent with Android - it returns the orientation of the actual window. If you really want to know the orientation of the device, use useSensor
Add buttons to explicitly get rotation using sensor or not (UI)

Also made a few changes to do with UseSensor so be careful of that if you're using the NativeDeviceOrientationCommunicator directly; users who simply use the widget shouldn't notice anything.
