BS3: Restore Glyphicons

[mdo]

After going back and forth on this for the last couple weeks, I've decided to restore the Glyphicons icon font to the main repo. Given how prevalent icons are in UIs, it's probably a disservice to most folks to not include them (or some other icon font) in the same spot as the CSS and JS.

With this update comes the following:

• Restores documentation (on the Components page)
• New variables, @icon-font-path and @icon-font-name, for flexibility in adding and removing icon fonts
• Upgrades to latest Glyphicons (adding 40 new icons)
• Removes the old Glyphicons mention from the CSS page

We'll work on improving the customization of icon fonts in the future so swapping font libraries can be easier (which was the whole motivation for the original removal).

The bootstrap-glyphicons repo has a few open issues regarding vertical alignment..

Updated all those other issues and nuked the repo.

Please also consider adding -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=857142#c83

Surprised to have found http://glyphicons.getbootstrap.com/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css suddenly 404.
So I guess the idea is to have Gylphicons CSS and icons hosted on our sites?

Problem I can see...
Several icons seem missing/malformed. These appear as boxes, both on my side and in the BS3 docs for Available Glyphs (http://getbootstrap.com/components/#glyphicons-glyphs). They are...
.glyphicon .glyphicon-lock
.glyphicon .glyphicon-bookmark
.glyphicon .glyphicon-camera
.glyphicon .glyphicon-fire
.glyphicon .glyphicon-bell
.glyphicon .glyphicon-wrench
.glyphicon .glyphicon-briefcase

Please advise: have these icons not been included with the distribution or is there a problem that will be sorted?

You can host your own or use a CDN but you should never use the files used by the docs.

[mdo]

Icons have been updated per #9808.

I suppose you should split Gylphicons into separate css, as bootstrap-theme.css for gradients. Thus they would be supplied within main dist, but optional for including.

Hooray, glyphicons
