Changing Hinterland Scrip icon

Due to the issues with accessing files within extensions from CSS on Firefox, we are forced to inline SVG file itself into the CSS file.

How to do it:

1. Run src/images/icon_scrip.svg through svgo
2. Encode contents of that SVG using data URI encoder
3. Replace contents of src/css/extension.css with the following:

.scrip:before {
    content: "";
    {{ contents of the "Ready for CSS field" }} -6px 1px no-repeat;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 1.2em;
    height: 1.8em;
    margin: 0 0 -0.8em;
    background-size: 1.75em;
}
