Add Gentoo icon

[foo-dogsquared]

Issue: #1592

Checklist

• I updated the JSON data in _data/simple-icons.json
• I optimized the icon with SVGO or SVGOMG
• The SVG viewbox is 0 0 24 24

Description

They have an official monochrome version so I picked that as the logo for this entry.

The brand color (named Gentoo purple) is chosen from the official color palette.

I manually "vectorized" the logo with Inkscape.
Making a vector for this particular logo has gone through a weird process.
With my amateur experience, I can't properly combine the individual nodes of the SVG.
So I converted the SVG into a high-resolution PNG then vectorized it again to make a single <path> node. :|

What do you mean by "manually vectorized the logo". The logo is already available in vector format (SVG) and all that is required for this logo is to resize it into a 24x24 viewbox. Care to elaborate?

Basically, I tried to combine the logo into one path but there is always an overlap with the combinations I've had (thus, there's always manual editing required).

So I tried to convert the vector into a high-resolution PNG then create a vector out of it.

I'm going to update the SVG file.
I just figured it out how to combine the nodes (without the overlap) now in Inkscape. 😅

That's great to hear, using an official vector format is always better, you can see the small difference it makes.

Thanks for you work on this one @foo-dogsquared your contributions over the past week mean a lot to us as maintainers of this project 😄

[foo-dogsquared]

I'm just getting into using Inkscape so I thought I could help out with this project as a starting point.
I also appreciate your patience while I'm sorting things out. :)
It means a lot for a new contributor.
