FS#600 - Add support for CUPS Command files

CUPS defines a "command filter" that gives the ability to perform some actions and queries.

  • ReportLevels -- marker-levels and whatnot.  Highly useful.
  • ReportStatus -- Once we get unified reporting in place, will be handy.
  • AutoConfigure -- Allows the PPD defaults to be updated based on printer configuration.  (!!)
  • PrintSelfTestPage -- For printers that support it
  • [and others that don't matter]

There appears to be no way to distinguish betwen a command filter vs print filter via the cmdline or environment.  traditionally these are seperate executables that expect different input data.  I'd like to figure out a way to make the backends detect the command stream vs the normal backend data, and do it all in one executable.

Reason for closing:  Implemented
Additional comments about closing:  Fully implemented in backend. Still need to do the frontend work in Gutenprint (ie PPD generation)

For commands, FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE shall be application/vnd.cups-command -- w00t!

'ReportLevels' is now fully implemented. As of this writing there are four backends left to migrate to the new paradigm.
