[Development] Moving JP2 imageformat from qt-solutions to qtimageformats

[Knoll Lars]

+1 to moving the plugins to qtimageformats. That¹s what we have the module
for. 

And I don¹t think moving ICNS is an issue neither, as long as we have a
configure test in qtimageformats to detect whether we can compile the
plugin.

Cheers,
Lars
