Package Manager icons should look more like their original app icons #412

Description

Right now too many package managers are symlinked to this icon:

system-software-install

App icons should probably look like the official app icons as much as possible while using the elementary style and colors (and also avoid using the same icons for different apps). I'm going to add a list of package managers and their icons here. If anyone wants, it might be easy to add some of these using other assets from the theme, or maybe pull from another (GPL) theme as a starting point.

List of package managers and links to their icons:

dnfdragora (Fedora, OpenMandriva, Mageia)

dnfdrake (OpenMandriva)

gnome-software (Gnome, most repositories)

rpmdrake (Fedora, Mageia)

synaptic (Debian, Ubuntu, most Debian-based repos)

yast (Suse) - yast-sw_single I think

yumex-dnf (Fedora Copr repos)

I thought about just doing color variants for a quick fix (maybe Pink for Debian, Red for Fedora, Green for Suse), but I think more closely matching the project icons and having more distinct icons would be best. Also, I'm not that motivated to work on these so just thought I'd post this reference for anyone who might be.
