Important: Record icons follow the backend colour scheme
========================================================

Description
===========

The record icons of this extension were registered with the core provider
:php:`\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Imaging\IconProvider\SvgIconProvider`, which renders
the default markup - the markup a :php:`typeicon_classes` entry reaches - as an
:html:`<img>` tag. An image is opaque to CSS, so the icon kept the ink of its
file whatever the backend colour scheme said, and a dark drawing stayed dark on
the dark cards of the record list.

They are now registered with
:php:`\FGTCLB\AcademicBase\Imaging\IconProvider\CurrentColorSvgIconProvider`,
which inlines the file in both markups, and the files themselves are drawn in
`currentColor` with no colour of their own.

That covers the record icons of all nine tables this extension ships, from
:php:`tx_academicpersons_domain_model_address` to
:php:`tx_academicpersons_domain_model_profile_information`.

Impact
======

The nine record icons take the text colour of the backend, so they stay legible
in a dark colour scheme. Their markup is now the inlined :html:`<svg>` rather
than an :html:`<img>`, which matters to any CSS or test that addressed the
image.

The plugin icon :php:`persons_icon` is a brand mark and keeps the core
provider. The six control icons of the public profile were already registered
with the `currentColor` provider and are unchanged.
