Add icons for the volume level

An example, with the icons of Video.js from https://videojs.github.io/font:

vLite uses volume-mute and volume-high icons.
The volume-low and volume-mid icons should be added.

@rtritto Just so we're aligned, Vlitejs aims to be as minimalist as possible, to keep the core light. This is why the plugin API was created.

For volume management, the player actually offers 2 states (mute, unmute) and a progress bar plugin. If this change is developed, it will be in the core.

I have mixed feelings about adding this changes. It implies loading 1 SVG per state and rethinking management for what I see as a rather limited gain.

I'm not closed to contributions (and I'm happy you contribute to the project), but I'd like to see them go in the same direction as the project. The aim is not to make the core heavier and add multiple features, as has been the case with other libraries (Video.js, Plyrjs) that have become complex over time.

Agree.

In my opinion, when a volume shortcut (increase/decrease volume) is used, the user should know that the volume was changed: the volume icon should be the right way.
