Subject: [PATCH] Add support z seam settings to expert.cfg and
 fdmprinter.def.json

This update includes two new settings in the expert visibility profile: 'support_z_seam_away_from_model' and 'support_z_seam_min_distance'. These allow users more control over the spatial relationship between the z seam of the support structure and the actual 3D model, ensuring a smoother post-printing process
