JJ: Icon also for artist more than for album only

The title is crap but basically it asks for artist art (photo or logo
I guess) like album art, just on the artist level.
This one sounds a bit unfeasible to implement really, only very few
reliable sources of artist art exist and we didn't really consider it
when the Meta classes were designed. And while album art has a certain
aspect ratio (CD case), pictures found on the web will vary wildly.
Then again, adding image() to Meta::Artist is simple enough, adding it
to the rest of amarok perhaps not so much but it will only be shown in
3 places that I can think of (collectionbrowser, now-playing and
playlist).

Makes me wonder it's useful to have an image (url, rather then QImage,
but that is a different topic) for every Meta class, i.e. make it part
of MetaBase

Perhaps you can investigate it a bit sandeep?
