Label generator: Create Barcode / QR-Code with the IPN (Internal Part Number)

[Alonia123]

Currently I have adapted PartDB so that I have 2 types of label placeholders to choose from ("Barcodes" and "Barcodes IPN").
The problem for me is the increased effort to perform updates, because I have to constantly check if the customized modifications
still work.

Brief description of what I did:

BarcodeProvider.php:
Added the following BarcodeProviders:

[[2D_CONTENT_IPN]]
[[1D_CONTENT_IPN]]
[[BARCODE_C39_IPN]]
[[BARCODE_C128_IPN]]
[[BARCODE_QR_IPN]]

BarcodeContentGenerator.php:

Added getIPNContent:

BarcodeGenerator.php:

getContent customized -> create a barcode using getIPNContent

---

Of course I had to do some more work here and there, but I wanted to describe briefly what I have currently done.
I would be happy if this function could be integrated into PartDB

I dont quite understand what you want to achieve with it?
So you want barcodes, where the content of the barcodes is the IPN not the generated id? Why do you need this?

Sorry for the ambiguity, I should have described the use case.

Our pick-and-place machine works with the IPN number, which means that when we mount a roll of components, we scan the IPN and "marry" the roll to a feeder (roll holder).
Since the system has been maintained this way for many years and the system does not offer us any other option.
Currently we have a label with a QR code (link to the component) and a barcode that contains the IPN.

Of course this is a personal use case, but I think there are certainly other users who would use this as well

Certainly I will also benefit of this feature, as I'm also in the same use case as @Alonia123 and I think is pretty normal to use the IPN in the industry,

I have added this feature and it will be available in the upcoming Part-DB 1.9
However, I named the placeholders [[IPN_BARCODE_QR]] and so on instead of [[BARCODE_C39_IPN]] as this naming scheme seemed more logical.

Also there is no [[2D_CONTENT_IPN]] and [[2D_CONTENT_IPN]], as this is the same as [[IPN]]

With the latest commit, Part-DB scanner also supports to scan these IPN barcodes.
