Ship Nightly App Icon
Description
The Flatpak infrasructure allows to easily deploy nighly variants of an application and allow concurrent installation of a stable and nightly version. To tell them apart, we show a "(Development) " prefix which tends to ellipsize the name.
Goals
Include a separate app icon for nightlies using the IconPreview exporter (and possibly manual touchups). See the app icon redesign initiative for background on app icons.
If CI is prefixing the name with "(Development) ", drop it and ship the regular name. The icon should make the distinction clear.
Scope
All core apps should ship a nightly icon for 3.6.
