Since the introduction of QPageRanges with Qt6, multiple/arbitrary page
ranges are broken in the unix implementation of QPrintDialog due to a
possible double application of the page ranges: on the application side
and on the server side with CUPS. Reason for this is that the
QPrinter::PrintRange is set to PageRange instead of AllPages.
The latter is needed when relying on the CUPS server-side page range.
However, the server-side page range is always applied later on.

Restore the behavior of Qt5 and set the PrintRange to AllPages for
multiple/arbitrary page ranges and rely on the server-side filtering
with CUPS.
