Review request for Okular.


Changes
-------

UNIX: Hardwire rasterization resolution to 300dpi


Repository: okular


Description
-------

When the users chooses to print with rasterization and annotations, it is easy to print directly to a QPrinter, rather than converting to PostScript and then using CUPS tools.  The code for it was already there, but it was hidden behind an #ifdef Q_OS_WIN. This patch enables it for all plattforms.  If nothing else, it will make an interesting debugging tool, because it allows to bypass the postscript & cups toolchain from the GUI. This may allow to track down some of the numerous my-printer-settings-are-getting-ignored bugs.
    
Incidentally, this patch does fix at least one bug for me: Without it, my printer will happily ignore the 'print in grayscale' button.  With the patch, that button is suddenly honoured.

This patch is a part of https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/130055/ .  I post it here separately because I am not sure anymore whether the other stuff in that larger patch is a good idea.
