Added support for quering a printer for the actual number of copies.

The logic of numCopies() returning 1 to indicate how many times you
have to run your printing code is not ideal and prevents the
"property" to be used as a placeholder for the value, which was
required by KDE. Added QPrinter::actualNumCopies() to ask
for the value set through setNumCopies() or through the print dialog.
