Jon Kinney f858a7de00 makeicns.sh: produce Big Sur+ style macOS app icon
The previous script generated a 1024x1024 icon from the SVG with no
squircle background and no transparent padding, which caused macOS
to render the Dock/Finder icon noticeably larger than first-party
apps and without the rounded-square shape users expect.

Rewrite the script to follow Apple's Big Sur+ icon template:

  - 1024x1024 canvas
  - 824x824 white squircle, centered (100px transparent padding outside)
  - Artwork rendered at 560x560, centered inside the squircle
  - Squircle corner radius ~22.5% of the squircle size

Use rsvg-convert to rasterize the SVG (ImageMagick crops this
particular SVG when rendering directly), then composite onto the
squircle background in two steps for reliability.

$0: Make a macOS icns file from an SVG with rsvg-convert, ImageMagick and iconutil.
Follows the Big Sur+ icon template:
- 1024x1024 canvas with a rounded-square (squircle) background
- Icon artwork scaled to fit inside an 824x824 content area, centered
- Transparent padding outside the squircle so the Dock/Finder render it
like other first-party macOS apps.
usage: $0 [SVG [ICNS [ICONSET]]]
ARGUMENTS
SVG The SVG file to convert
Defaults to ./lan-mouse-gtk/resources/de.feschber.LanMouse.svg
ICNS The icns file to create
Defaults to ./target/icon.icns
ICONSET The iconset directory to create
Defaults to ./target/icon.iconset
This is just a temporary directory
