We had a lot of options lumped together under "Advanced Settings". I
introduced two more categories and move a few options to other existing
categories.
I also reordered the appropriate entries in the source files to make it
easier to find stuff when extending the options.

removed all browser-specific gradients as the recently (in 42ff6730) introduced svg makes them unnecessary

fixed performance issues with gradient in Firefox (which also added gradient support for IE9) (FS#2447)

* removed all occurrences of '-moz-linear-gradient'
* added SVG as fallback for Firefox, IE9 and other browsers to page background and buttons

This time PHP and libGD is used so it should work on Windows as well.
The image quality is much better this time and the active highlight
color is read directly from the template's style.ini

This makes it easier to modify or extend the icons in the sprite.
Just place the source files in the pagetools directory and run the build
script.
