Custom icon for NickelMenu main menu on 4.23.15505

See #78.

Random thought: instead of/in the meantime, couldn't we simply re-purpose an existing one? (I was thinking of the Erlenmeyer of the "Beta" settings, or any of the existing gear/tool-like ones).

I was actually just thinking something along the same line. I'm considering making an experimental option for now to change the path used for the QPixmap, as that would allow loading it from an arbitrary resource or a file. That allows us to sidestep the decisions for this change for now.

The only thing I'm concerned about is I don't want experimental options to become widely-used and having people complain about breakage/removal/changes later. That's a discussion for #87, though.

I've decided to go with an experimental option to change the QPixmap path for now. I'll need to test what happens if it doesn't exist or is invalid, though, to make sure it won't cause any problems.

I tried setting:

experimental:menu_main_15505_icon_active:/images/reading/beta_features_hit.png
experimental:menu_main_15505_icon:/images/reading/beta_features.png

but it doesn't seem to be working. Is this supposed to work with the native paths on kobo?
(I have libra 2)

Try adding another colon before the path and see if it works.
