Appindicators use too much padding

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[ Impact ]

Padding on indicators is too wide, as per double-multiplication of the same, leading to very spread icons:

[ Test case ]

- Open various indicator, padding should be reduced to be consistent with other icons, for example:

[ Regression potential ]

Very low, there's just a style change to ensure we don't apply the very same padding two times.

I have gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (33.1-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) installed from focal-proposed for some time and the padding looks good between appindicator and shell indicator icons.
