Give Effector its own icon

Browse Source 
An E split into its colour channels, with two slices slipped sideways,
replaces the generic applications-graphics icon in the desktop entry and
About Effector, with a one-colour symbolic version for panels. Both are
installed into the hicolor theme; a build run straight from the build tree
falls back to the copy in the sources. The version moves to 0.5.3.
