tunelp: use linux header
Remove use of LPTRUSTIRQ in same go. The LPTRUSTIRQ provided --trust-irq option, but it has not worked in nearly 20 years.

-This option tells the lp driver to trust or not the IRQ. This option makes
-sense only if you are using interrupts. If you tell the lp driver to trust
-the irq, then, when the lp driver will get an irq, it will send the next
-pending character to the printer unconditionally, even if the printer still
-claims to be BUSY. This is the only way to sleep on interrupt (and so the
-handle the irq printing efficiently) at least on Epson Stylus Color Printers.
-The lp driver automagically detects if you could get improved performance by

-NOTE: Trusting the irq is reported to corrupt the printing on some hardware,

-By some unfortunate coincidence the ioctl LPSTRICT of 2.0.36 has the same
