[calligra/calligra/2.9] krita/data/paintoppresets: restore broken presets

[Timothée Giet]

Yes, I prefer very much to add new preset (= different name and icons) 
that are specifically optimized for speed,
rather than changing existing ones making their result different.
And using the resource bundle to do that when it's ready is a good idea.
