u-s-c icon now clashes with the new Ubuntu Software package

[Will Cooke]

With the move to [GNOME|Ubuntu] Software we rebranded it to be in keeping with the rest of the platform. Part of this work was to re-use the g-s-c icon.

For users who upgraded they now have both u-s-c and Ubuntu Software installed. These applications share an icon, and so it can be hard to distinguish between them at a glance. We should not forcibly remove u-s-c on upgrade because a) we don't do that and b) it will still be useful for people who want to install purchased software via the private PPA mechanism (assuming ISVs port their apps to 16.04 and don't ship as a Snap).

Suggestion: We remove some colour from the u-s-c icon to indicate that it is deprecated (e.g. convert it to grey scale) and consider pre-pending the app name with "Deprecated" or something along those lines.
