New metapackage to pull in all the parts for a functional cups printing
stack. This will allow to avoid relying on net-print/cups for that
purpose -- because, with the advent of cups-filters 2.0.0 and the
ongoing work to refactor CUPS 3, things are broken out into various
interconnected components and configuring each one is not perfectly
straightforward. Eventually, there will not be a "cups" package at all
anyway.

Additionally, this helps solve a longstanding cycle with cups <-->
cups-filters that has only gotten worse since the latter was broken up
into various packages which require libcups from cups, which in turn
depends on -filters. There are a number of use cases for having cups
installed in "minimal" mode so that other packages can build against it.
