docs(amiga): add comprehensive .info icon format article with real icon examples
...
New article covering all five icon format generations:
- Old-Style (OS 1.0, 4-color planar)
- MagicWB (Stefan Stuntz, 8-color standardized palette)
- NewIcons (Nicola Salmoria, 256-color ASCII in ToolTypes)
- ColorIcons (OS 3.5, FORM ICON IFF with palette chunky)
- GlowIcons/PNG (OS 3.5+, NeXTSTEP-inspired, ARMS chunks)
Includes binary layout specs, API reference, 5 practical examples
(C + Python), decision guide, historical timeline, and real icon
images extracted from actual .info files across all formats.
