Replace font icons with SVGs #115

Consider using SVG icons instead of font icons. SVGs are scalable and clear for different screens. Twenty Seventeen has already SVG icons that we learn from and even improve on. There are different SVG icon sets we can choose from: fontawesome, ionicon, etc. or we could generate our own.

Adding a commit to deal with non rendering of tooltips for group invites by moving icon hooking to a new span element; for the moment this is the easier approach although requires a fair bit of layout adjustments. I agree we should move to SVG ( looked quickly at 2017 use and we probably can copy a large part) but it's a task to be tackled for a .1 version so going to add this ticket to a new milestone to remind us.
