Title: [Icons] Refactor icon support, implement variant processing

This pull request changes the way icons are handled, as well as the way create wizards are handled.

* Process icons differently depending on context (including gradient coloring and drop shadow) to complete nasa/mct#145 per specification. Processed icons are cached to avoid incurring the cost of this processing repeatedly.
* getIcon and getWizardUI in ComponentTypeInfo (and similar methods in AbstractComponent) are deprecated to remove Swing dependencies from these classes in support of nasa/mct#155.
* getAsset is added to ComponentProvider interface to replace these deprecated methods. This also permits a way for icons or other arbitrary asset types to be added separate from the plug-in that defines a component type. (This supports the idea that plugins built with one GUI toolkit/paradigm in mind could be reused in a different context, with a separate plugin providing the necessary/desired assets.) Further supports nasa/mct#155
* New instances of create wizards are provided by getAsset, addressing MCT-3015 and MCT-3164 from the private issue tracker.
