Bug Description

Impact
======
The FlightGear package cannot be installed using the Gnome Software application.

Because the app icons were being installed to a non-standard location, the .xpm icon was being used instead by the .desktop. That's a low-resolution icon and is invalid for appstream.

This was fixed in Debian and in yakkety by correcting the icon install locations and dropping the obsolete .xpm and Debian menu, but for xenial a more minimal fix of just correcting the icon install is provided in case someone uses the .xpm or Debian menu.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flightgear/1:2016.2.1+dfsg-6

Test Case
=========
1. Open the Software app in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
2. Search for "flight" or "flightgear"
3. Do you see the FlightGear app?

Regression Potential
====================
The only thing changed is the icon install locations. They were being installed to the top level directory /usr/share/icons/ instead of to the standard /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ . A bonus is that the 128x128 high resolution app icons are being installed now too.
