Show plugin icons when plugin is updated or installed

[bonny]

It's possible to get the icon via WP API, like the code below from https://github.com/Freemius/wordpress-sdk/issues/67. Could be a nice addition to the log.

$payload = array(
    'action' => 'plugin_information',
    'request' => serialize( (object) array(
        'slug' => 'page-builder-sandwich',
        'fields' => array(
            'tags' => false,
            'icons' => true,
            'sections' => false,
            'description' => false,
            'tested' => false,
            'requires' => false,
            'rating' => false,
            'downloaded' => false,
            'downloadlink' => false,
            'last_updated' => false,
            'homepage' => false,
            'tags' => false,
            'compatibility' => false,
            'ratings' => false,
            'added' => false,
            'donate_link' => false,
        ),
    ) ),
);
$body = wp_remote_post( 'http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/', array( 'body' => $payload ) );

var_dump( unserialize( $body['body'] )->icons );

Not sure how it would look however.

@bonny Second or third mockup looks nice.

They mention it's not polite to hotlink to the icons, so we would need to fetch the icons and store them locally. Where + for how long?

Also found out that icon is available using API https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/simple-history.json?fields=icons

"icons": {
  "1x": "https://ps.w.org/simple-history/assets/icon.svg?rev=2807098",
  "svg": "https://ps.w.org/simple-history/assets/icon.svg?rev=2807098"
},

They link to the SVN server and that's not something we want to link to either.

Closing this now since it sound cumbersome to do this atm.
