Function: getForcedTrailingFeedMm()

function getForcedTrailingFeedMm(engine: PrintEngine): number;

Resolve the post-print forced trailing feed for an engine.

Returns the engine's forcedTrailingFeedMm when set, 0 otherwise. Distinct from the chassis dead-zone (getPrintableArea): this scalar describes blank tape the printer (or this driver's encoder) forces after the printed bitmap — cut-clearance feed, encoder- emitted padding rows, etc.

0 legitimately means "no forced feed modelled" — drivers whose firmware advances a variable amount (LabelWriter ESC E to next tear bar, Brother autocut) leave the field empty so its zero default surfaces.
