That's what my original idea (and even proposal for the ArtLibreSet) was as 
well, but when thinking about this once more, it appears better to have an 
icon that is not in the current theme but has an accurate metaphor, as 
opposed to have a row of plain magnifier glasses that all look the same.

I'm quite indifferent about the page-* prefix, so I used the one from 
ArtLibreSet. I'm convinced that ArtLibreSet's -magnifier suffix is 
fundamentally wrong, so I used -zoom instead.

Makes page-zoom, which intentionally does *not* act as fallback for other 
zoom-* icons.
