Icons: the Selection arrow is black and Direct Selection's white in every theme

Icons are drawn in the theme's colour. The Selection tool's filled arrow
therefore came out light in the dark themes and the Direct Selection
tool's hollow one dark, so they looked swapped to anyone who knows the
black Selection and white Direct Selection arrows (reported by a user).
Both arrows now paint a fill in a fixed colour (black, white;
dc-arrow-fill.svg, original) under their outline in the theme's colour.
