Currently the icon texture is only updated on style changes when
the icon size is set from CSS and differs from the previously used
icon size.
As the style change may have been triggered by an icon theme change,
textures that are created for themed icons should always be recreated;
given that this is the case for most uses (with the exception of
file thumbnails), recreate the icon texture unconditionally to avoid
complexity.

Mainly due to StTextureCache's way of handling fallback icons, an
implementation of BaseIcon.createIcon() may return an icon smaller
than the requested size. Given that BaseIcon is not used for isolated
elements, but rather for groups of related items (App view, Dash,
Search Results, ...), having some elements end up with the wrong
size is more annoying than having some elements end up ugly due to
scaling, so explicitly enforce the requested icon size.

- Center the icon texture in the area allocated for it, and always give
the nominal size - avoid off-by-one scaling if the parent allocated
a little less or more size than we wanted.
- Use Math.floor() when centering horizontally to avoid allocation
at a half pixel.

Currently there is a serious problem with ellipsization in various
parts of the overview. While wrapping the label or giving it more
space may be appropriate approaches for the application view, neither
works very well for the dash - possibly the best option there is to
not show the label at all.
So add a constructor parameter to BaseIcon to allow hiding the
label.

As all children were considered for the grid's layout, hidden items showed up as
empty space. Instead, exclude hidden children from the layout, so that the grid is
only made up of visible items.

Although within St itself there are situations where the semantics of
these functions (return TRUE or FALSE and return the actual value in
an out parameter) is useful, it's mostly just annoying at the
application level, where you generally know that the CSS property is
going to specified, and there is no especially sane fallback if it's
not.
So rename the current methods to lookup_color, lookup_double, and
lookup_length, and add new get_color, get_double, and get_length
methods that don't take an "inherit" parameter, and return their
values directly. (Well, except for get_color, due to the lack of (out
caller-allocates) in gjs.)
And update the code to use either the old or new methods as appropriate.

Both current design and new mockups use square icons. Currently this
is implemented by setting a fixed width and height in the CSS, which
does not work for the growing/shrinking items in the new sidebar.
By moving the assumption of square items into the code, the size will
adjust according to icon size, spacing, padding and font size if not
explicitly overwritten in the CSS.

The current design features a sidebar where the icon size shrinks
automatically to fit more items. Add a setSizeManually parameter
to BaseIcon, which disables sizes read from CSS and allows to use
BaseIcon.setIconSize() to support this.

All mockups now use a representation for documents/places similar to
the one used for applications. Rename AppIcon to BaseIcon and move its
code together with WellGrid out of appDisplay to stress their general
usefulness.
