Icons need to be more iconic

The icons for ICs, mystery part and generic ICs are not very readable or
functionally obvious. The main problem is that ICs all tend to look the
same. The second problem is that text on those little icons is difficult
to read. Some new designs might be helpful:

For the Op-Amps, draw the schematic shape (the triangle pointing right with
two inputs and one output) on top of the DIP package.

For the 555 timer, draw a clock.

For the generic ICs, use the question mark from the mystery part on top of
the IC.

For the mystery part, use the question mark but put it on top of a generic
"black box" (or maybe purple) shape.
