printing: Get PPD from original host if needed

Marek Kašík requested to merge printing-get-ppd-from-original-host-if-needed-gtk-3 into gtk-3-24

This merge request fixes an issue when a remote printer is added to a CUPS server without PPD file. Gtk print dialog does not reach to the PPD in such case. We have to ask the original host (from "device-uri") for the PPD.

This is something different than the situation when we had remote printers in the past and had to download PPD for them, these had printer URIs pointing directly to the remote host in "printer-uri". I've modified the code which does this so that it tries the original host if it did not get the PPD from the host in "printer-uri".

This is gtk3 version of the merge request !1100 (merged).
