Removed everything which got split out
In the New Architecture for printing we switch to an all-IPP workflow with PPD files being abolished and classic CUPS printer drivers replaced by Printer Applications (software emulation of driverless IPP printers). To conserve the functionality of the CUPS filters which got developed over the last 20+ years into a PPD-less, IPP-driven world without having to maintain and include the legacy PPD support in OS distributions and other system environments, the original cups-filters package got split into 5 separate packages: libcupsfilters, libppd, cups-filters, braille-printer-app, and cups-browsed, with libcupsfilters and braille-printer-app not containing PPD file support code any more and cups-browsed being planned to drop explicit use of PPD files. This commit drops everything from the cups-filters repository which got split out into the other 4, new repositories. What remains are the CUPS filter executables, from which most are wrappers around filter functions implemented in the libcupsfilters and libppd libraries, backends, the "driverless" utility for setting up driverless printers with classic printer setup tools, and auxiliary files (PPD files, *.drv files, MIME rules, ...). This package is needed for using CUPS 2.x with filters from libcupsfilters (2.x) and libppd. It is not needed/does not make sense to be used with CUPS 3.x or the CUPS Snap (or any other containerized CUPS implementation). If you need printer drivers for such CUPS versions, use Printer Applications.
