C3D-0261 · 260714 Huckaby: switch 17X11 to a full-bleed landscape media done

After clearing the rotation the paper is 17x11 but the printable area is only 16.50x9.50, so the 17x11 border clips. The portrait sheet uses ANSI_full_bleed_B_(11.00x17.00). Lists every full_bleed media and switches to the 17.00x11.00 one, then reports whether the border now fits inside the printable area.

C# payload

// Printable area came out 16.50 x 9.50 on a 17 x 11 sheet, so the 17 x 11 border clips.
// The PORTRAIT sheet uses ANSI_full_bleed_B_(11.00_x_17.00_Inches) - zero margins. Find the
// landscape full-bleed equivalent and use it.
