[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [9] RFR JDK-6574279: validatePage from PrinterJob returns argument under linux

We match the CUPS returned media to standard media here
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/client/jdk/file/03c248ab7484/src/java.desktop/unix/classes/sun/print/CUPSPrinter.java#l218

As per getPageSizes(), it returns the size of the media as 
mentioned(including margin) but the testcase actually sets imageablearea 
to (0,0,paperwidth,paperheight) which matches one of the many page size(s)
as I earlier mentioned, (0,0,8.26",11.69") is within supported mpa of a 
paper size 0,0,11.69",16.52" (which is one of the pagesize returned by 
getPageSizes()) so it means 0,0,8",11" comes out to be supported mpa
and so it was allowed (eventhough printer cannot print from 0,0)
so we should also take care of the printer-allowable (hardware) margin 
which in windows was taken care of by GetDeviceCaps(printDC, 
PHYSICALOFFSETX) function so I had to add getHWMargin() in linux here in 
this fix.

Modified webrev which passes JPRT is here
