[PATCH] net-print/cups: consolidate dependencies into cups-filters

The core CUPS package doesn't actually rely on any particular PostScript or printer driver tools like poppler and ghostscript. (In fact, the only mention of them is in now-unused macros in one of the internal CUPS header files.) Instead, that functionality has been farmed out to the filters/drivers in cups-filters.

AIUI, we should reflect this by moving the dependencies into cups-filters (which is installed by a PDEPEND in the cups ebuild).

Attaching a sample patch. I'm not sure what the strategy on older/stable package versions. Maybe the patch should only be applied to the latest?
