[IPP] Impressions vs. images for IPP FaxOut service

Hi Mike,

My two cents:

Define new job-images[-completed] attributes, to align
w/ SM.

Also, Copy Service (and possibly other future services)
have both images (input) and impressions (output) work
counters.

Of course, Scan/FaxIn/etc. need images work counters.

Cheers,
- Ira,
