Minimap Icon Categories

This is a guide for a consistent naming and organization scheme for the minimap icons.

IMPORTANT: The existing old files (that dont quite follow a strict convention) are still in the build, otherwise we break external/custom maps/vehicles. This is to document the new ones and encourage vehicle makers to use these
