main/postmarketos-ui-xfce4: remove xfce4-battery-plugin and icon link

Administrator requested to merge xfce4_remove_battery-plugin into master

The xfce4-battery-plugin doesn't need to be installed anymore since we switched to the "power manager plugin" in postmarketos-ui-xfce4 0.5.0 (MR !2722 (merged)).

The link to the old PostmarketOS icon isn't needed anymore for new installations. It was added due to issue #1418 (closed).

However, for some existing installations removing the link causes the disappearance of the pmOS icon on the menu button. Users have to set it manually back to /usr/share/pixmaps/postmarketos-logo.svg. This is because the accoding config file gets copied into the users ~/.config folder and therefore doesn't get updated. Installations that are affected:

  • Edge installations prior to 10th Feb 2022, icon is expected to get lost after upgrading postmarketos-ui-xfce4 package.
  • Stable installations created as v21.12 or older, icon is expected to get lost when upgrading to future v22.12.
