[IPP] Request to have 2 new keywords defined for "output-bin": 'job-separator' and 'collator'

Hi Smith,

I agree with Mike's much simpler definitions.

I don't like this explicit ordering from "top" to "bottom" bin, because
it's hardware architecture specific and doesn't even mean anything
if the only two bins are side by side (they sometimes are).

Cheers,
- Ira
