Connect to printer using URI - determine connection type from scheme

[mike42]

Idea from #240 - write some new code in PrintConnector to accept a URI, then return different implementations based on the scheme used.

$foo = new PrintConnector::get("file:///dev/usb/lp0"); // FilePrintConnector
$foo = new PrintConnector::get("tcp://x.y.z.w:9100/"); // NetworkPrintConnector
$foo = new PrintConnector::get("ipp://foobar/"); // CupsPrintConnector
$foo = new PrintConnector::get("smb://windows/printer"); // creates a WindowsPrintConnector

This will facilitate storing a connection string in a database etc.

@mike42 I made a new file called UriPrintConnector.php with it's class that implements exacly this. I'm not so good with git repositories so, I'm attaching the file then you can review and possible merge with the original project. Not tested with all protocols.

Usage:

$foo = UriPrintConnector::get("file:///dev/usb/lp0");
$foo = UriPrintConnector::get("file:///home/foo/bar.txt");
$foo = UriPrintConnector::get("tcp://127.0.0.1");
$foo = UriPrintConnector::get("tcp://127.0.0.1:8080");
$foo = UriPrintConnector::get("ipp://foobar");
$foo = UriPrintConnector::get("smb://windows/printer");
$foo = UriPrintConnector::get("usb://printer");
$foo = UriPrintConnector::get("com://COM1");
$foo = UriPrintConnector::get("ltp://LTP1");
