Show icons instead of mode names in emacs.

Some of the modes that have icons instead of names now:

* Requirements
As of version 0.3.0 you can also use icons from some icon fonts,
specifically:
- [[http://fontawesome.io/][Font Awesome]]
- [[https://octicons.github.com/][GitHub Octicons]]
- [[http://fizzed.com/oss/font-mfizz][Font Mfizz]]
- [[https://icomoon.io/#icons-icomoon][IcoMoon]]
The icons look the best if you have the fonts installed on your
system and mode-icons will not do this for you.
* Installation
** Manually
Place ~mode-icons.el~ somewhere in your =load-path= and copy the
~icons/~ directory there as well. Then =require= ~mode-icons~ in your
[[http://gnu.org/software/emacs][Emacs]] init file.
* Usage
Once installed you can add =(mode-icons-mode)= to your init file.
** Ignoring mode-icons in other buffers
When looking at buffers with commands like ~ibuffer~, they display the
icons for the mode names as well. If you don't like this behavior you
can change ~mode-icons-change-mode-name~ to be nil:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mode-icons-change-mode-name nil)
#+END_SRC
** Changing how mode-icons recolors images
Additionally, if the image icon was an ~xpm~ icon, then you can have
it changed to match your mode-line face. In the example below, the
inactive mode-line shows the emacs and yasnippet icon changed to match
the inactive mode-line:

This is enabled by default, and can be disabled by:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mode-icons-desaturate-inactive nil)
#+END_SRC
You can also change the icon to match the active mode line (disabled by default):
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mode-icons-desaturate-active t)
#+END_SRC
Some of the black and white images are tagged as black and white and
are automatically recolored to match the mode-line face. You can turn this off
and use the black and white image by setting:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mode-icons-grayscale-transform nil)
#+END_SRC
