[KDE Connect] Add icons to the KDE Connect Kirigami app

KDE Connect is expanding to other mobile platforms beside Android. Those include SailfishOS, Plasma Mobile, Purism Librem 5, UBports etc. For this we have written an app using QML and KDE's Kirigami framework. The app contains several buttons/actions that don't have an icon yet. This task consist of finding appropriate icons and adding them to the buttons

You can find instructions on how to build the app on https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#Building_KDE_Connect_.28Desktop.29. To build the app a special build flag is required. To enable it run "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DEXPERIMENTALAPP_ENABLED=True .." from within the build directory. Then do "sudo make install"

The app QML code is within the app/qml folder. The interface is written in QML, a declarative UI language that is very easy to learn. Icons are referenced by name. To browse and pick a good icon you can use Cuttlefish. To complete this task you need to add one icon to a button or action, e.g. the pair button or unpair action.

You might want to make sure you can build the app first. There is a task for it! https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/4772341729984512/
