optional QR code / third party service

[payload]

I replaced the QR code generator link for readonly pages with this image http://memegenerator.net/instance/16615378

The QR code generator is a Google service. I think using a third party service for something should be disabled by default, but easily enabled via the config file or even configurable by making the URL a config variable. Third party services shouldnt get a hint where to find high quality information about people via readonly etherpad pages. And etherpad owner should be forced to think about this problem before they use or not use third party services.

Maybe the QR-code should go into a plugin which is not enabled by default. Why display a QR code if we can click links?
