ATTN: latest changes in breeze-icons make packaging untenable

Hello,

recent changes in breeze broke building in openSUSE's OBS: after a
discussion on IRC, it turned out that there were incorrect symlinks.
Adjustments were made in order to preserve space. However, while
harmless at first (I didn't notice earlier, and CI was green) these
changes *break* packaging for most systems.

The reason? Directories became symlinks, hence a package manager can't
fix that, it will totally break when a package updates (because it will
try to symlink something existent).

Therefore there is *no* way the current state of breeze-icons can be
installed a the moment by any sane distribution. No problem for now,
but Frameworks are monthly releases, so...

This needs to be fixed, even if at the cost of wasting space (but
making packagers much happier). 

If there's no consensus, I will revert these commits [1][2][3][4] in
breeze-icons by Sunday morning.
