missing CSS and icons from dblog.module [#138079]

As per the discussion starting around http://drupal.org/node/67893#comment-232068 (comment #20) and based on IRC conversation with Steven about it, we've got a bug in HEAD right now regarding the UI for dblog.module. even though we've now got 8 severity levels in core, only 2 have icons (error and warning), and only 1 has a dedicated background color via dblog.css (error). this would make the dblog UI pretty broken once modules start making use of any of these other severity levels, since there'd be *no way* to distinguish them at admin/logs/dblog.

this is really a separate problem from the feature request about adding filtering methods at http://drupal.org/node/67893, so i wanted to split off this conversation to a new issue, since the fixes don't necessarily have anything to do with each other.

Personally I'm not sure the average administrator needs to grok all the different error levels. It'd definitely be very hard to come up with descriptive icons for all of them.

Perhaps a better approach is to classify each new level back into the 3 tiered old system. Each level gets the icon from its tier (error, warning, info), but the background colors change from green to yellow to orange to red as you go up. Each icon would have the real severity level as its title text, like it does now. I'm still in favor of keeping that approach, as the exact error levels are not *that* meaningful... and they're not even used anywhere in core.
