Old icon sets

Several additional icon sets are available but all have a much more limited set of icons. We have ensured that the $twcWeather icon code numbers map to an approximately accurate representation in the old icon sets. While the old sets work we encourage use of the more expressive TWC and WU v4 icon sets.

All of the icon sets described on the original Weather#Weather_Icons page work with the new codes, for example :wu-b-36: maps to the "sunny" icon in the "B" icon set.
