Merge #16612: qt: Remove menu icons

390874c qt: Remove menu icons (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  Remove the icons from the application menu. Why remove?

  - They are inconsistently applied, some actions had icons, some newer ones don't. Good luck coming up with a sensible icon for everything
  - Menu icons don't seem to have a place in modern UI: for example, GNOME, MacOS have stopped showing these a long time ago (see bitcoin/bitcoin#16584 (comment))
  - Less bikeshedding opportunity about "what should the icon for this be"

  Removed icons:

  ```
  /icons/quit            res/icons/quit.png
  /icons/about           res/icons/about.png
  /icons/about_qt        res/icons/about_qt.png
  /icons/options         res/icons/configure.png
  /icons/key             res/icons/key.png
  /icons/verify          res/icons/verify.png (also .svg)
  /icons/debugwindow     res/icons/debugwindow.png
  /icons/open            res/icons/open.png
  /icons/info            res/icons/info.png
  /icons/filesave        res/icons/filesave.png
  ```
  I checked that these icons are used nowhere else.

  Removed from the menu not removed from the repository, because still referenced by other parts of the code:
  ```
  /icons/lock_closed
  /icons/edit
  /icons/address-book
  /icons/send
  ```

ACKs for top commit:
  practicalswift:
    ACK 390874c -- diff looks correct
  l2a5b1:
    ACK 390874c - Bitcoin Core has a very simple application menu. As long as the menu items describe their actions clearly and unambiguously then the icons alongside the label are redundant and offer very little value, if anything at all.
