In implementing #2758, we realised that there's no citation of the source of the icons. It's quite likely that they were custom made at the time, but if they weren't then this was a mistaken license violation. Most practically though, it's a problem when we need to add further icons, as we'd want to use a set which has plenty of options for new features.

Feather is a nice set of icons, covering everything we could ever likely need, is MIT licensed and fits well with our current style.

This replaces the existing icons in place with the new set, using currentColor to provide a path to override the colour in a standard manner (this means that you set the CSS color properly and don't need to change fill or stroke.)
