Size of Icons for categories

There have been a few comments in other themes about the size of category icons, so these are css controlled and can easily be changed ( .categoryicons .course_category_tree .fa {font-size: 140px;} ). That doesn't change the box size though, so the titles would still fit. As a development, I may also see if I can enable adding images as an alternative to the fontawesome icons currently used.

##Course images

• are added as Course Summary files in each course, but then a site-wide setting whether to use them as a banner or separate image. And if the Summary Files setting (main moodle admin one, not theme based) is set to allow more than one file and you add more than one image file, you can even have a different image as a banner to the one used for the front page course tiles. The course tile takes the first image, the banner takes the last.
