Submission: immich plugin

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your work. Please add me in your project in the github
repository, i will review the code and give you some guidance

My account : https://github.com/cgilles

I will check out the code and look to compile. When all will be fine, We
can plan to include it in the digiKam bundles as the G'MIC-qt plugin for ex.

Best regards

Gilles Caulier
