Use SVG instead of PNG icons #330

Article that shows how to let Xcode generate PNGs from PDF vector files at build time: http://martiancraft.com/blog/2014/09/vector-images-xcode6/. Requires an asset catalog. Requires a special format "PDF vector files" - whatever that is. Unclear at the moment whether Inkscape can create this file format.

Third party library to draw SVG icons at runtime: https://github.com/SVGKit/SVGKit/. Supports CocoaPods. Read somewhere (I think it was Quora) that this is buggy and CPU hungry. It's easy to check the "buggy" claim, but rendering a couple of static icons can't be that bad.
