Use SVG for chess icons instead of PNG files #3

Wikipedia has a bunch of standard SVG files for chess pieces. That's where I got the current PNG files from, by converting those SVG files to PNG. But we should use the SVG files directly instead since they'll cooperate better with scaling, and they're much smaller text files rather than binary blobs.

Blocked on takikawa/racket-rsvg#7, which I think is just an issue of there not being a package that provides the pre-built binary rsvg library on macOS. Maybe. I'm not very familiar with the native library bits of Racket's package system.
