[Printing-architecture] First beta of pappl-retrofit released!

Hi,

After two years of development (first year as part of the PostScript 
Printer Application) I am finally spinning a first release of 
pappl-retrofit, the library to convert classic CUPS printer drivers and 
PPD files into Printer Applications.

With CUPS 3.x (does not support PPDs/classic drivers) around the corner 
and also my plans to switch to the CUPS Snap (does not support 
PPDs/classic drivers) as default printing system in Ubuntu 23.04 
(Feature Freeze Feb 2023) we need to make pappl-retrofit "distro-ready", 
so it needs releases and versions.

Therefore I have released 1.0b1 now and ask everyone of you to test and 
also to start distro-packaging, for Debian, Red Hat, SUSE, ...

Here we go:

There are also GitHub discussions set up for each release now.
