[GRASS5] new symbols

[Michael Barton]

I think this is a good  idea. Most users would think of a star as a 5 point
star, not a 4 point star. I also very much like the triangle. I've been
tempted to do one too, but haven't got around to it.

I'd favor replacing "star" with the new one (looks very nice), and keeping
the old one as star4.

I also agree about moving the non-basic icons to basic and keeping a set of
basic geometrics in basic.
