test: drop racy printer_state_to_dict patch; assert structural shape

The patch on printer_state_to_dict raced against the broadcast coroutine
  under pytest-xdist's parallel workers. Mostly won locally, lost
  occasionally on CI — surfaced first as AttributeError on .kprofiles,
  then (after _fake_state was hardened) as a dict-content mismatch
  between the patched return value and the real 36-key dict.

  Fix: stop patching printer_state_to_dict; let it run for real against
  the complete _fake_state stub. Assertions now check the broadcast fired
  with the right printer_id and a dict containing awaiting_plate_clear,
  not the exact dict shape — that decouples the test from
  printer_state_to_dict's evolving body.
