The fix adds new public `OutputBin` print attribute class which allow to set a printer output bin in a `PrinterJob` class. The corresponding internal `CustomOutputBin` class is added as well.

- Constants used in `OutputBin` class are based on [Internet Printing Protocol (IPP): “output-bin” attribute extension](https://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/candidates/cs-ippoutputbin10-20010207-5100.2.pdf) document.
- `CUPSPrinter.getOutputBins(String printer)` method uses PPD  `ppdFindOption(..., "OutputBin")` function to get supported output bins for the given printer on native level.
- The fix propagates the `OutputBin` attribute from the printer job attributes to `NSPrintInfo` print settings with `OutputBin` key on macOS.

The fix was tested on `Kyocera ECOSYS M8130cidn` printer where `ppdFindOption(..., "OutputBin")` call returns 4 output bins (text, choice): 
- Printer settings, None
- Inner tray, INNERTRAY
- Separator tray, SEPARATORTRAY
- Finisher (face-down), Main

if `Printer settings`, `Inner tray`, or `Finisher (face-down)` CustomOutputBins is set to `PrinterJob.print(...)` attributes a test page is printed to the Main tray of the  `Kyocera ECOSYS M8130cidn` printer. If `Separator tray` is used a page is printed to the Separator tray. This is consistent with the printer behavior when a native print dialog is used from a native Preview app to print a document on macOS.
