feat: add GNOME-style app icons

[gwuen]

Introduce new simplistic app icons, including symbolic and nightly-release variants, to better align with the GNOME Human Interface App Icon Guidelines, as discussed in #191.

The icons were designed from scratch in Inkscape ¹ and exported using App Icon Preview, which also optimized the SVGs with svgo. Quack!

Any feedback is appreciated. I'd be happy to make some adjustments or even go back to the drawing board, if someone has a better idea than the cute little froggo :)

I'm also attaching my design file if anyone wants to make some modifications on their own: com.github.tenderowl.frog.svg

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm also a fan of this icon pack, but I don't think the icon I'm proposing would be suitable:

For most icons, especially branded ones, the general idea is to stay as close as possible to the original icons – to the point of using them in full – and giving them the distinct Adwaita 'perspective' and general flatness. One thing this theme deviates from is the Gnome colour palette in brand icons – MoreWaita keeps the brand colours.

My design is radically different from the previous one, and I also don't feel comfortable using the current, obviously AI-generated icon as a basis for a new design that would be a better fit for MoreWaita. Sorry.
