Patch to add support for multiple page size output

The attached patch fixes the problem by adding a new "-origpagesizes" output
mode to the "pdftops" utility.

pdftops -origpagesizes combined.pdf

produces the expected output as combined.ps with combined.pdf being the
attached sample PDF file.

The patch works as described by Albert Astals Cid in comment #1. The PostScript
output device gets a new output mode psModePSOrigPageSizes. If it is selected
pages do not get scaled and rotated into a given output page size, but the
original page sizes are conserved and none of the pages gets rotated. The page
headers contain page size requests of the form

<</PageSize [<width> <height>]>> setpagedevice

to make a printer switching to the appropriate paper tray.

The patch does not change the API or default behavior of Poppler. The new mode
is only used when explicitly selected.
