Description

Right now, legend items in legend groups always stack vertically, and then the groups themselves are laid out per legend.orientation. We need a new legend.grouporientation attribute that will cause the items within a group to lay themselves out left-to-right.

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the legend layout entry point and the existing handling for legend.orientation; add the group-level orientation behavior so items can lay out left-to-right while groups retain their existing orientation, then verify both orientations.
