Inkscape icon support

Breeze and elementary OS do this by default now. Looks very good.

"Inkscape support" is essentially building out the underlying theme, which in Suru's case is the Humanity fallback icons. I barely have time to maintain Suru let alone design an entire legacy set of icons to replace Humanity 😉

Why not use symbolic icons instead of color icons?

@eaglersdeveloper that's up to inkscape. When and if they ship symbolics it would be no problem and I'd have to not worry about it.

I just tested the latest Inkscape Gtk3 and it has support for symbolic icons. It will also use the "System Icons" if it can find in the icon theme folder (not just Suru).

For those that want to try it, here's the ppa.

I meant not only Inkscape. Everywhere.

@eaglersdeveloper like inkscape, apps would have to support symbolic icons. Symbolic icons behave differently and change colour according to the theme, otherwise it's still fullcolor
