Fix postscript output in landscape orientation #82
Conversation
The matrix has been rewritten and supplied with comments showing how transformations are going. This will allow for further PS transformations, and seems to be simpler to understand. Well, I did so because the further transformation functions I need must be called before the transformations described by the matrix, and I don't know how to make a new matrix to address this.
Postscript output must always go in Portrait orientation, so appropriate transformations have been applied to ensure this and proper view in PS viewers. Please see https://www.cairographics.org/documentation/using_the_postscript_surface/ for more information. Reported-by: Karl Hammar on the geda-help mailing list.

gaf exporttrimmed Postscript output for landscape pages since there were no special handing for it in code.For more details on why the previous code worked incorrectly, please see this link
Since proposed PR's commits affect output in other formats,
and we have no automated tests for
gaf exportyet, testing ismuch appreciated. The more the better :-) I tested only output for all formats on
several schematic files with or without margins and using a different scale. As for plain PS,
gs,gvandgv -nodscshowed correct output (evincesegfaulted on landscaped PS pages, though it looks like a bug in it or in its libraries).
