    Specification compliance of icon names

    Icon names without trailing stars already exist in the freedesktop.org icon naming specification. Also, the existing emblem icons need to be blown up to full icon size once emblems are done with automatic resizing and placement.

     emblem-link              -> emblem-symbolic-link
     emblem-favorite          OK
     emblem-mounted           OK *
    
     * 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 emblems/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification.

    Open questions

    • Can additional (unspecified) emblems be added to the emblems/ directory? What happens if any given theme doesn't provide a requested emblem?
