Document with single landscape page inbetween portrait pages with gutter

The feature 'page gutter' was implemented with bug 91920. It allows the user to
distinguish in the margins between an area, which will be consumed by binding
and an area, which gives a visible margin.
The drop-down-list 'gutter position' has the items "Top" and "Left".

The option "Top" works only on a whole document and it is not saved as page
layout property but is save in the propriety "settings.xml". This way of
implementing mimics the way a "Top" gutter is handled in OOXML.
But it does not cover all use cases and LibreOffice should be better here.
Imagine a user has a document in portrait orientation with a left page gutter.
Now he needs some pages in landscape e.g for wide tables or maps. He sets the
page style 'landscape' for them. But he is not able to use gutter position
"Top", because that is only possible for a whole document. He is forced to
increase the top margin manually and the information, that part of this area is
consumed by binding is not available in contrast to the intension of the new
feature.
[The 90deg rotation of the landscape page can be done by the printing
algorithm, e.g. Acrobat Reader handles this nicely.]

Enhancement request: Implement page gutter position 'Top' so, that it is usable
as property in page styles, so that it can be applied to individual pages.
