Title: Add IE7 LESS file

I thought this would happen as part of #38 but it didn't, so here's my take on it, adapted from the 2.0 release so it's got all the new icons. It reduces markup dramatically and makes it much easier to make global changes, such as removing the ` ` suffix. I spotted I'd made an error in my code in the comments - this version works! I recompiled the IE7 CSS files using `lessc -x` (using lessc 1.3) in both the main library and the docs folders, though the formatting comes out a bit different to the original.

Something that had me confused for a bit is that the CSS file this generates won't work by itself in IE7 as it's missing the `@font-face` declaration - the IE7 styles need to be used as well as (not instead of) the original stylesheet. This means that IE7 gets sent more CSS than is strictly necessary, but then anyone using IE7 is clearly a glutton for punishment already :)
