Move avatar icon generation from mailnag-gnome-shell to a mailnag plugin
Move the avatar icon generation code from mailnag-gnome-shell (aggregate-avatars.vala) to a mailnag plugin.
- The generated icons should be stored in a volatile location like /run/user/<current_user>/mailnag/avatars.
- Icons should have the name of the associated email address.
Benefits:
- The mailnag-gnome-shell extension published to extensions.gnome.org currently does not support avatar icons (because uploading binaries like aggregate-avatars is not allowed). This would change if mailnag itself would provide avatar icons.
- The libnotify plugin could show those icons in a notification.
- Other extensions/programs could use the generated icons.
- mailnag-gnome-shell would be javascript only (no more compilation/installation steps required).
