feat: add custom icon support for task statuses (#1245, #793)

Add optional Lucide icon configuration for task statuses, allowing shape-based status differentiation alongside color coding. - Add icon field to StatusConfig type - Render Lucide icons via setIcon() when icon is configured - Add CSS for icon-based status indicators with theme color support - Add icon input field to status settings UI - Add translations for all 8 locales (en, de, es, fr, ja, pt, ru, zh) Users can configure icons per status in Settings → Task Properties by entering a Lucide icon name (e.g., check, circle, clock). Icons inherit the status color and improve accessibility for colorblind users.

 ## Added

+- (#1245), (#793) Added custom icon support for task statuses
+  - Configure a Lucide icon name (e.g., `check`, `circle`, `clock`) per status in Settings → Task Properties → Task Statuses
+  - Icons display instead of the colored dot, inheriting the status color
+  - Browse available icons at [lucide.dev](https://lucide.dev)
+  - Improves accessibility by allowing shape-based status differentiation
+  - Thanks to @3Fish for the feature request and @Raonmir2, @aubreyz, @prayidae, and @anareaty for the discussion on accessibility and icon-based indicators
+
 - (#1259) Added [Property Types Reference](../settings/property-types-reference.md) documentation
  - Documents expected data types (text, list, date, number) for all frontmatter properties
  - Includes format specifications, examples, and a complete YAML reference
