[ubuntu-art] Buttons for the Support Section of the Ubuntu website

[Who]

Here is a rather unoriginal solutions

I have used icons from Human and Tango and mimicked the Human GTK button

I have also attached the SVG for one button.

Some of the icons were only available in 48x48, which is why the
output is on the small size
