C3D-0262 · 260714 Huckaby: put 17X11 on the full-bleed B media so the border stops clipping done

The only full-bleed B is the orientation-less ANSI_full_bleed_B (the portrait sheet resolves it to 11x17). Sets it at rotation 0, and if it resolves portrait, applies the 90-degree rotation - which is correct for a portrait-resolving media, unlike the earlier case where the media was already landscape. Reports paper size, printable area and whether the 17x11 border fits.

C# payload

// The only full-bleed B is the orientation-less "ANSI_full_bleed_B". The portrait sheet reports
// ANSI_full_bleed_B_(11.00_x_17.00_Inches), which is that same media resolved portrait.
// Set it here and see which way it resolves; if it comes back portrait, rotation 90 is then the
// CORRECT way to get a landscape full-bleed sheet (rotation is only wrong when the media is
// already landscape, which was the earlier mistake).
