From now on, plugins must have metadata.txt file (with INI format)
that is used for storing of metadata. This has two advantages:
- plugins do not need to be loaded in order to read metadata
- repository can parse the metadata more easily
Both C++ and Python plugins now can implement icon() metadata function which returns path to the icon file name.
The icon file is passed to QPixmap() constructor. For C++ it's preferred to use an icon from the resource file
(e.g. ":/plugins/foo/foo_icon.png") because plugin's resource file gets loaded automatically when the plugin is loaded.
Python plugins can use either relative path to the icon ("images/plugin-icon.png") or icon from the resource file
(starting with a colon). The relative path is preferred, since it doesn't require the plugin to load its resource file
and plugin repository will not have a trouble to fetch the icon automatically.
Updated C++ plugins and Python plugins to include icon where applicable.
