Specification compliance of icon names

Icon names without trailing stars already exist in the freedesktop.org icon naming specification.

 all category icons       missing

 * suggesting this for inclusion into the icon naming specification
 ** not in the spec, but let's keep it out of there anyways,
    it's not really suited to be a standard icon

To do for Oxygen

Icons that are in the spec, but not yet in Oxygen's categories/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification.

   The icon for the "Engineering" sub-menu of the Programs menu.

Summary of the suggested changes and additions

The ones marked with * and should therefore go into the icon naming specification, presented here in a shorter list for a better overview. Including a suggested short description text like needed for inclusion in the spec.

 applications-education
   The icon for the "Education" sub-menu of the Programs menu.

 applications-development
   [Rename "Programming" to "Development".]

 applications-other -> applications
   The generic icon for application categories.

 preferences-other -> preferences
   The generic icon for preference categories.

Problematic category icons

The first three ones are very implementation specific, as it's not specified anywhere that the "peripherals" and "personal" settings need to be a child element of the desktop settings. Likewise, "network" settings don't necessarily reside in the system settings category.

preferences-desktop-peripherals
  The icon for the "Peripherals" sub-category of the
  "Desktop Preferences" category.

preferences-desktop-personal
  The icon for the "Personal" sub-category of the
  "Desktop Preferences" category.

preferences-system-network
  The icon for the "Network" sub-category of the
  "System Preferences" category.
