Re: Raising requirement for application icons in GNOME Software

At the moment the appstream-builder requires a 48x48px application
icon[1] to be included in the AppStream metadata. I'm sure it's no
surprise that 48x48 padded to 64x64 and then interpolated up to
128x128 (for HiDPI screens) looks pretty bad.

Instead: magnify by 3x linear pixel replication (48 -> 144),
then take some 128x128 subset such as the center or upper-left.
Yes, losing 16 pixels width will be unfortunate, but it is a
better default because it looks nicer.  The part that is retained
will not be distorted, which is more usable until the apps
supply 128x128.
