Using a font instead of custom inline-svg all default dashboard styles are applied to the Cachify icons, too.
Convert the current icons into a font using IcoMoon app and adjust the output accordingly. Preserve original SVG files, but do not distribute.
Inline WOFF2 to prevent additional requests for most modern browsers.
This PR contradicts the changes introduces in #64 where we migrated from OpenType font to SVG.
It is true that SVG can be considered superior to icon fonts in various cases, but the native WP icons use the Dashicons icon font and styling from themes, plugins, etc. does not apply to our SVG, i.e. the Cachify icon always has the default grayish color.
So for the sake of consistency I would prefer using the same technology here.
resolves #264 for various dark mode plugins
