Bug Description

Currently, gschem relies on user input to decide between landscape and portrait print. This is tedious and makes scripted printing difficult.

Suggestion: Add a third alternative "automatic". In automatic mode choose portrait/landscape based on the boundry box of the objects to be printed. Make automatic mode the default.

Add an option to automatically choose portrait/landscape

    To choose portrait or landscape for a schematic the printing function
    relies upon its X and Y dimensions. If the dimensions are
    equal, landscape is chosen as more often used layout.
