Patch to add printing support to pdftocairo in Win32

Hello all!

Printing a PDF unattendedly in Linux is easy. But in MS-Windows, it is not.
I've been looking for a solution for ages and found nothing! Then, I realized
that "pdftocairo" just renders a PDF to a Cairo contexts, and a Cairo context
in Win32 can be a printer.

I've written a patch (for 0.26.1) that adds that functionality to "pdftocairo".
It still misses documentation changes, but I'm willing to add that too, if/when
it is accepted.

Basically, it adds two command line options:

  -prn: Instead of an image, it should render the output to a printer. The name
of the printer will be "output-file", or the default printer if no name is
specified.
  -prnsource <src>: The paper source of the printer. It corresponds to the
DMBIN_* enumeration from Windows headers, so: 0=default, 4=manual, 7=auto. The
default is "default".
