Support the SVG2 as a format for graphical assets in the Qt framework

What is the benefit? Why is this valuable?

It is meanwhile a widespread use case to use SVG as an asset format for static graphics. Especially, if the Adobe CS is in use, it is very convenient to use SVG since you can export to this format from almost all tools in CS.

The SVG Tiny (https://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/intro.html) which is supported in Qt is not sufficient for this, since it would require conversion and this degrades the results far too much.

SVG 2 (https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/) is available since 2018

What are common use cases?

• Export works done by designers in Adobe CS into a given location and be able to use that files as graphical assets in the Qt UI
• Animations and scripting are not relevant here. It is basically a PNG- or JPG-replacement.
