PulkoMandy 4dbd474753 Add BIconUtils::GetSystemIcon
Allow to easily access the alert icons and anything that's added to app_server
resources.

Fixes #10887.

Convert BAlert, Debugger AlertWithCheckbox and Keymap ModifierKeysWindow
to make use of it, removing the duplicate code to locate app_server
resources.

The resources are initialized only once (per application), so there is no need
to reload them for every access to the icons.

In the ticket there is discussion about putting this in BControlLook,
but I think this should in fact be moved fully into app_server with
special drawing commands for well-known icons. That would avoid loading
and rendering the icon on the application side to then send it to
app_server (especially in remote_app_server case)?

In any case, this simple API can serve as a base for applications to
use, and we can change how it is implemented later on.

\class BIconUtils
\ingroup interface

\brief The BIconUtils class provide utility methods for managing and
drawing vector icons.
Haiku icons are stored in the HVIF (Haiku Vector Icon Format). This format
was designed specifically for this purpose, and allows the icon data to be
small enough to fit in file's inodes. This way, the icon can be displayed
like any other file attribute, without extra disk access.
This class provide only static methods to allow access to the icon data and
rendering to BBitmaps for later use in an application. It also supports
older icons in bitmap format. These may still be useful at very small
sizes. Note you can't create an instance of BIconUtils, just call the
static methods.

will be scaled from its "native" size of 64x64 to the
size of the bitmap.

square dimension, or the icon will be cut off at the bottom (or have

\fn static status_t BIconUtils::GetSystemIcon(const char* iconName, BBitmap* result)
\brief Load an icon from the set of system icons.
To provide some uniformity between different applications, a base set of icons is provided
with Haiku. Whenever possible, these should be used instead of application specific icons,
to ensure consistency and ease of discovering application functions.
The available icons follow the FreeDesktop icon-naming-spec convention. At this time the
following icons are available:
- Flag icons for 245 countries
- dialog-error, dialog-information, and dialog-warning
- As an extension not available in FreeDesktop specifications, dialog-idea is also available
and corresponds to the icon used in BAlert of type B_IDEA_ALERT.
The icon is automatically scaled to fit the \a result bitmap, which must be allocated and
valid before calling this function.
\return B_OK if the icon could be loaded into the \a result BBitmap. B_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND if the
requested icon is not currently available.
