feat(setup): print a real test slip from the printer "Test connection" modal

healthCheck only opens the transport (TCP connect / USB open) — it proves the
printer is REACHABLE, not that paper feeds and the head fires. Add a "Print test
slip" action so the admin can physically confirm a printer is live (the new
host-net USB /dev/usb/lpN path, or a network printer).

- server: POST /api/setup/test-print — printer-only, re-merges stored secrets like
  /test (so an edited network printer authenticates), creates the device, and pushes
  a short slip via the device-agnostic printReport(). Fail-soft: a print error
  (paper out, head fault, transport drop) is reported, never a 500. Mirrors the
  test-anpr pattern.
- web: testPrint() client + PrintTestResult; a button in the device modal shown for
  category=printer, with ok/fail rendering. i18n keys in sq + en (parity holds).

Server 168 tests pass; web + server typecheck clean.
