The good news: I have a proof of concept fix attached. Just made sure
all the icons have invisible square borders, and all are 24x24.

The bad news (1): A more modern directory layout for our icon theme
would be required to use these. Just putting them in the 24/ directory
is not enough. You have to put them in 16/ and 22/ too, which is
obviously wrong because they are actually 24x24.

The bad news (2): Adwaita's default battery icon looks much better than
even the fixed Ubuntu mono one. Because Gnome Shell shrinks the icons
too much to make out details in Ubuntu's long narrow battery icon.
Adwaita's is more "readable".

The bad news (3): Nobody noticed that even with Ubuntu-mono-dark icons,
Gnome Shell is still using the Adwaita icons for other things like wifi.
It's failing to pick up the Ubuntu wifi icons and others. So we really
need to address the entire icon them as a whole...

In the meantime I suggest we should find an elegant way to just use the
Adwaita shell icons (as we already are for non-battery icons). Because
using the "fix" attached here still doesn't look as nice as Adwaita
battery icons.
