1673713 - Implement a pages per sheet selection

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Printing, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Mark Striemer [:mstriemer]]

The platform side now supports a numPagesPerSheet setting [1], we should expose a select box with the supported options (the linked code suggests 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 16).

There could be some interactions with other settings, especially margins and page ranges, which could require some tweaking. This feature should be added behind a pref so that it can be disabled if needed but still tested for now.

This adds the pages per sheet option behind the print.pages_per_sheet.enabled
pref. There will likely be some interactions that we want to test out some
more so holding it to Nightly for now.

Depends on D95334
