    Summary description: Prettier QR codes

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    qrcodetikz improves the display of QR codes provided by qrcode.

    The Quick Response (QR) codes provided by package qrcode show
    white borders on each square (from little to very proeminent
    depending on pdf viewer).
     This is because the QR code is printed square by square,
    not the connected regions of squares as such, and pdf screen
    viewers show these undesired borders.

    This package overwrites the qrcode printing functions to fill
    connected regions of the QR code using TikZ, allowing prettier
    qrcodes on screen visualization, with possibility of customization.
