Port Iron icons guide

[kaycebasques]

R (@tjsavage && (@ebidel || @robdodson))

• Ported 0.5 guide to 1.0.
• Removed sections on icon sets due to dependency loading bug. See Chrome Cannot Find Iconset PolymerElements/iron-icon#19.
• Added section about needing to load dependencies in specific order when using the social, av, etc. icon sets from iron-icons due to the same bug listed above.
• Added section on using mixins to style icons globally, in alignment with Rob's iron-icons Polycast.

Bummer, I haven't hit this bug yet and just did a polycast on creating custom iconsets with iron-iconset-svg. Seems to work fine in the demo :\

Did this PR fix the issue? PolymerElements/iron-iconset-svg#11

General voice principal for pp.org: Use 2nd person present tense and try to avoid "we", unless you're providing a specific recommendation that comes from the Polymer team ("we recommend ...").

So I would usually write this as "This guide teaches you how to..."

So, I could be wrong but it looks like the bug regarding loading icon sets only applies when you dynamically load stuff, which I think is related to this issue:

PolymerElements/iron-icons#18

The demo for iron-iconset-svg seems to work on the catalog site:

https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/iron-iconset-svg?view=demo:demo/index.html

It seems like we should probably document icon sets with this caveat.

@cdata @sjmiles Can either of you comment on whether my interpretation is correct here?

This seems to be true based on my experience, Arthur. However, Scott
probably has a better insight into the full scope of caveats.
