Custom icons should be permitted
Problem
Previously it was possible to install custom icon sets and themes. This has recently been changed so that in some places, such as the Applications menu, it is no longer possible to use these icons.
Other areas, such as the Dock, still allow custom icons, which makes the Applications menu inconsistent.
Proposal
Please restore the ability to have cusom icons.

This is due to https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel/commit/476a9fd47ae5f90c990c30e73a1e5b878a754c64
It looks in daily that changing the icons from elementary to Adwaita breaks:
- [ ] Sound indicator volume level icons
- [x] https://github.com/elementary/granite/issues/666
- [x] https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel-indicator-bluetooth/issues/211
- [ ] https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel-indicator-power/issues/254
- [ ] the main icon for the session indicator
I'm filing some issues against the specific indicators where they are responsible, and we need to finish gresourcing indicator-specific icons in those indicators like we've started doing with notifications, bluetooth, etc. And then when we've solved the breakage we can remove the hardcoding so that third-party and fd.o namespace icons can be themed
