Subject: [PATCH] feat(rdp): printer redirection, saved as PostScript

An optional 'Nexus Terminal' printer (IronRDP's PostScript driver
announce) appears on the remote desktop; each job is written to
'Nexus print <time>.ps' in Downloads, with a toast saying where. Jobs
are capped at 256 MiB and empty jobs leave no file. The shared drive and
the printer now share one RDPDR backend (rdp_devices); the printer
works on every platform, the drive on Linux and macOS.

Tested with a unit test driving create/write/close; xrdp has no printer
redirection, so not exercised against a server.

+- **Devices**: **Play Remote Audio**; **Redirect Printer**, which adds a *Nexus Terminal* printer on the remote desktop whose jobs are saved as PostScript files in your Downloads folder (up to 256 MiB per job); and on Linux and macOS a **Shared Folder** that appears on the remote desktop as a drive named Nexus.

 - **SSH Tunnel**: carry RDP through SSH, as for VNC. Use either a proxy or a tunnel, not both.
 
 Nexus Terminal logs on with Network Level Authentication (CredSSP, NTLM), so your password is checked before a session is set up. Servers without NLA, such as xrdp, need **Allow servers without NLA**; the password is then passed to the server's own logon. Kerberos and smart cards are not supported.
