* Added application print_server_add_on that is used
by the print_server to run a printer driver add-on.
This makes the print_server
1) resistant to add-on crashes
2) and memory leaks in add-ons
3) license of an add-on cannot influence the
license of the print_server since it does not
directly load the add-on anymore; might be
an issue with GPL printer drivers like Gutenprint

Transport add-ons directly loaded by the print_server
should be moved outside the print_server too.
Right now I am not aware that the transport add-ons
in the repository have any of the issues.
The Gutenprint driver has 2 + 3 that was the main
motivation to implement that now.

Disabled for now until the launch issue is resolved.
BRoster does not find the application by its
signature until it is opened in Tracker once.
