[Lazarus] HiRes for IDC icons

[Sandro Cumerlato]

Hello Vojtěch,
patch doesn't alter icon visualization, just increase (and make usable
and even touchable!) all the Componet Palette buttons, even on HighDPI
devices.

SVG icons distribution is another matter: I believe that the Lazarus
project should use *only* the SVG file format to store icons (and
other images in general) within the svn trunk repository.

Furthermore, to avoid lossless of quality during conversion a
different set of SVG files should be created: icon1_24x24.svg,
icon1_48x48.svg, icon1_96x96.svg, and so on for all the images/icons
used... If you are thinking that this is too much work to manage then
think to the benefits.

"rsvg-convert" tool is a good solution to convert from SVG to PNG,
since fpvectorial is still immature for such purpose.

Best regards,
Sandro Cumerlato
