Patch PE83-1905020
------------------

Platforms: All

* Fixed PJL handling. Any PJL is ignored witout affecting the output.

* Fixed HP-GL2 content in macro. Any HP-GL2 content is ignored.

* Unmapped proportional fonts default to Times Roman instead of Courier.

* Handle negative sizes in PCL area fill to follow expected behaviour.

* Use shade groups in PCL area fill instead of gray percentage.

* Fixed the PCL cusor row offset to be consistent with top offset.
  The [config] bcompat=1 config item may be used as a workaround to
  retain the previous behaviour.

* Improved internal resolution to avoid rounding errors on font scaling
  and positioning.

* Reset HMI value on font property changes.

* Return exit code if ghostscript fails. When passing the eqpcl output
  to ghostscript eqpcl returns an exit code if ghostscript indicates a
  failure.

* Handle PCL ESC&a#G command (Duplex Page Side Selection).
  eqpcl assumes simplex behavior and ejects the current page.

* The ONPAGE tray option may be used to limit the page overlay to
  specific pages. The following values are supported:
  - page number (onpage = 1)
  - not on page number (onpage = !1)
  - page number larger than (onpage > 1)
  - even or odd page number (onpage = even)

* The command line option -C allows adding config items. In this case
  the config item prepends entries from the config file.
  For example, -C paper.source=1 or -C tray1:onpage=even).

* The eqpcl version was changed to B.08.03.01.
