[Therion] Stupendous symbol effort

[Stacho Mudrak]

Thanks a lot Rodrigo for you contribution!

I have merged almost all new symbols to development snapshot, but I have
also some doubts about how some symbols should be called.

For example, until now, there was a "disk" symbol in therion (or in english
it is called sometimes also shield). But it is something completely
different (from morphological point of view) as a disc on stalactite. Here
in Slovakia we call it like "water level flowstone" - but it would be
complicated to name for this symbol. So is the "disc-stalactite" OK in
English?

Another symbol:
point plus|minus|plus-minus
currently, for "plus" and "minus" there is:
point height -value +
point height -value -
and there is no symbol for point +-. So I suggest to add "point height
-value +-" and make a circle version of point height.

Do some of you have any other suggestions?

S.
