Remove print declarations

This CIF to CIF transformation removes print and print file declarations from the specification. This may reduce the size of the specification. It may also lead to the specification being supported by more tools, as the print and print file declarations may use features of the CIF language that certain tools don’t support.

This CIF to CIF transformation removes only print and print file declarations. The Remove I/O declarations CIF to CIF transformation removes them as well, but additionally also removes the other I/O declarations.
