C++ Extensions: Image Provider Example

This example shows how to use QQuickImageProvider to serve images to QML Image items, and how to package it into a QQmlEngineExtensionPlugin which is detected and loaded at runtime. The plugin is then a reusable component that can be installed into a system-wide location for use by multiple applications.

It can be built and tested like this:

 $ qt-cmake .
 $ cmake --build .
 $ qml -I . imageprovider-example.qml

Alternatively, a QQuickImageProvider intended for use in only one application can simply be instantiated in main.cpp as documented.
