I was not planing to strip that part. The propose was an example.
Plan is:
If lyx with cmake is configured with
	-DLYX_PROGRAM_SUFFIX:BOOL=ON
the built executables have all a suffix. Only in this case should the rename happen.
	org.lyx.LyX.metainfo.xml -> org.lyx.LyX2.4.metainfo.xml

In all other cmake-settings no rename is planed.
