Allow rendering PDF with OR without printing 'bleed' space #8

Extra margins are required when submitting a PDF to the printer. Currently, WilloraPDF only understands the 'screen' or 'display' or 'final' margins, but not the thing which the printer/bookbinder actually requires.

For example, a US trade paperback has a trim size of 6"x9", but the actual sheet of paper that gets trimmed is bigger. Lulu says that a PDF with bleed is actually 6.25"x9.25". WilloraPDF needs to support this.

This should be as easy as MEDIA=prepress versus MEDIA=print but I think I'm missing something
