[SailfishDevel] Notice on Sailfish OS sharing API

Hello,

The internal sharing API got some changes in 2.2.0 for supporting
account icons in sharing method list. If you have plugins compiled
against older version of the operating system, they can cause the
sharing engine to crash and sharing method list showing only 'add
account' option. As this is currently not supported 3rd party API, the
issue does not affect software downloaded from Jolla store, but might
happen with e.g. openrepos.

If you are affected, check /usr/lib/nemo-transferengine/plugins/ for
3rd party plugins and either uninstall the relevant applications,
remove the plugins manually, or update the external plugins to versions
targeting 2.2.0.
 
If you are a developer and your application includes a sharing plugin,
then rebuilding it against the 2.2.0 SDK will fix it (though you should
also add an application icon so it looks nice in the list). Also update
dependency in .spec file to: nemotransferengine-qt5 >= 0.3.1

Sorry for the inconvenience.
