Thank you @Jertzukka for taking care of this. Amazing work! I'm sorry for not being able to merge this before 1.26.24 release. |

@antonio-rojas @anthraxx I believe you are the archlinux package maintainers for veracrypt. Could you package next version with svg icon? |

Update the old logo with a simplified one without extra label text.
.ico and .icns are updated on Windows and macOS, and .png, .svg are added on Linux and FreeBSD. According to freedesktop Icon Theme Specification SVG icon is optional and not necessarily implemented, meaning that it alone isn't enough. The spec recommends PNGs in various sizes as the first choice, and XPM as the backup for backwards compatibility. Based on my testing, the DE often uses the exact size .png when available, and falls back to .svg for obscure sizes. When the theme requests symbolic version, we now also have that.
Removed the odd sizes for the old .xpm as these are not used anywhere in this project, nor by any of the distributors I checked, 256x256 is still available for backup use. Couldn't test on Windows as I couldn't get it to build, but I think src/Common/VeraCrypt.ico is the only location it is pulled from.
