Allow creating QRCodes without creating a short url #6

A qrcode is just a fancy way to encode any URL. It doesn't have to be the short one. It could be desirable to have a qrcode that represents the destination url. This has two benefits:

These days, qrcodes can be created using built-in features of the browsers. Chrome and Edge both have native qrcode generation for any url. Still, it could be useful to have qrcodes that all look like the rest of our city-generated qrcodes.

Each browser that generates qrcodes creates them with a distint look.
