Here is the first stage of improvements to the next version hardcode-fixer.

There is a simple diagram that can help to understand how the script works dia.pdf.

bash >= 4 (included in all actual distros)
GNU sed
awk (prefer gawk but should work with any version)
wget | curl (curl is not installed by default in Ubuntu 16.10 and newer, wget is not installed by default in Manjaro)

Supports XDG Base Directory Specification #310
Converts invalid icon formats to png #306
No requires root permission #178
Auto-translate application name to icon name if matches not found in tofix.csv #220 #285
Extendable code (as much as possible in bash)
Has two user interface:
- Simple interactive menu (when args or commands not passed) Extremely useful when executing via 'Run in Terminal' and through a pipe: wget -qO- URL | bash.
- Advanced command line.
```
# the commands in this example do the same
hardcode-fixer -Av
hardcode-fixer --apply --verbose
hardcode-fixer apply -v
```
Fixes launchers on user desktop and hides backup files to avoid littering
Compatible with current version of tofix.csv

[ ] cleanup tofix.csv:
- [ ] remove duplicates with the same app name
- [ ] fix the wrong app names
- [ ] delete Steam app entries
[ ] fix launchers with non-standard extensions (Icon=zotero.ico, etc..)
[ ] add bash and zsh completions
[ ] add colors for output messages (?)

NOTE: This PR can be merged. The improvements in the list will be added in another.

The command for quick testing:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SmartFinn/hardcode-fixer/next/fix.sh | VERBOSE=1 bash

I think converting from app name is more predictable.
