The Common Print Dialog Backends (CPDB) concept has GUI-toolkit-independent backends for each print technology (CUPS, Print to File, cloud printing services, ...) and each print dialog (GTK, Qt, Chromium, Firefox, ...) is supposed to use this backend, so that changes in print technologies can be centrally and quickly covered by changing the backends and everything new gets available in all print dialogs. This commit provides Qt print dialog implementation which adds support for the CPDB concept. It communincates with all the installed CPDB backends and so gives support for all these print technologies to the Qt print dialog. To make use of CPDB, Qt should be configured with cpdb and cpdbjobwidget enabled and other print technologies (eg. cups and cupsjobwidget) disabled to prevent printer duplication.

Scraped out CUPS & CPDB specific code from print dialog frontend, and put it in their respective print plugin directories. This allows the print dialog to be able to dynamically select print backends at runtime instead of having to choose one at build time. Change-Id: I8ae53d19d91aa9689ec327fd8077558744e4768b
