HAL is no longer in the business of providing icon names and localized
strings; those bits are deprecated and will be removed from the library
libhal-storage at some point in the future (they're still there only
because we don't want to break API/ABI).

Of course, now that we have the icon-naming-spec (which is great, thanks
for working on it!) we can do this in a sane way, e.g. not require that
the caller initializes the library with a mapping from HAL constants to
icon names.
