Make qrcode library produce SVG images instead of PNG #2916

We might want to consider an option to produce SVG images, if possible from the qrcode library - in which case we wouldn't need to bother with deciding the physical dimensions (and therefore, storage requirements) of the resulting graphic.

In the last reference group meeting it was decided to offer the option for both SVG and PNG and to have a check before or a setting that switches between these.
