[RFC] Remove outdated postscript test from icedtea6

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

This patch removes the javax/print/attribute/PSCopiesFlavorTest.java 
jtreg (jdk) test from IcedTea6. The test was written for a 
CUPS/postscript bug[1].

There are several issues with this test. It cant handle the case where 
there is no default printer; it throws a NullPointerException without 
actually testing what it's supposed to. The bug that this test checks 
for has become obsolete. The issue was that when a postscript file 
specified the number of copies, and the user asked for a certain number 
of copies, the number of copies in the postscript file would generally 
take precedence. This meant that from a user's point of view, there was 
no way to set the number of copies. This is no longer true for modern 
version of CUPS. The JRE has already been fixed so that it returns 
Copies as a valid attribute for postscript documents, making this test 
incorrect.

Cheers
Omair
