Install the icon of the application in the hicolor XDG icon theme; this way it can be properly loaded by XDG menus in the currently set XDG icon theme, without looking in the legacy pixmaps location.

Reading into this here https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/appicon.html first gave me the impression that the pixmap directory is used mostly for gnome, while the icons directory is used on kde.

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/0.13/#install_icons suggests to use further subdirectories for the theme, like in this PR.
