Brightness icons are suboptimal

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Ubuntu Trusty r188, Ubuntu 14.10 r2, Ubuntu 14.10 r152

1. Go to System Settings > "Battery".
2. Look at the icons at the ends of the "Display brightness" slider.

What you see:
* The minimum-brightness icon is a light bulb with no rays.
* The maximum-brightness icon is a light bulb with rays and a lightning bolt inside it.

What you should see:
* The minimum-brightness bulb should have rays, because it is not zero brightness.
* The maximum-brightness icon does not have a lightning bolt, because that is strongly associated with battery charging.

This is the "torch-on" icon in ubuntu-mobile.

[Matthieu James (tiheum)]

The actual icons are suboptimal because they were designed for the torch feature, but we have already an icon called display-brightness-symbolic that was supposed to be used in the system settings menu to access to the brightness settings (I don't know if this still exists).

So, I added two icons to the theme:
* display-brightness-max which is a symbolic link of display-brightness-symbolic
* display-brightness-min is the same in half transparency
