Add a list of constant string literals for a subset of icons from the
freedesktop specification. Those are icons we document to support today,
and that users might have written themes for.
Omit icons that are mime types (we have Q(Abstract)FileIconProvider
and QPlatformTheme::fileIcon for that), the "flag-aa" icon (where 'aa'
is an ISO 3166 country code, and Face* icons. Flags and Face icons can
be added as supported QIcon constants, but should then be rendered as
emojis from the respective font (they are not provided by any of the
native icon libraries or icon fonts).
We use string constants instead of an enum so that we have the same code
path for icon constants, user-defined icons, and native icons. I.e. in
addition to QIcon::fromTheme(QIcon::ThemeIcon::EditCopy), code can
request the icon for "trash.circle.fill" on Apple platforms, or
or for U"\ue5cd" on platforms where the engine is font-based; or an app
can define their own icon name and provide the assets through a theme-
description, as before.
The downside is that we cannot use arrays for looking up the native icon
for an enum-value in the engine implementations, but given that icons
are cached this is an acceptable trade-off.
To make the list of icon contants more manageable, have them in a
separate header file. Since we want those constants to live in the QIcon
"namespace", we then include that header in a declaration of a nested
struct, "ThemeIcon", resulting in e.g. QIcon::ThemeIcon::EditCopy.
