Summary: Make toolbar simpler, text-only

Initial Comment:
I know, icons in toolbar are pretty. But they really
confuse (or at least don't help) neophytes, the people
we really want to use DrJava in the first place.

So, for now, we should support fewer buttons, and have
them be text-only (or perhaps text-plus-icon). When we
have the configuration framework, this can be an option.

Actually, we could leave the same number of buttons but
move the less important ones to the right, so they'll
be cut off first. But compile/reset interactions/abort
need to be visible.

Anyway, if someone's looking for a fairly easy task to
do, I'd appreciate if someone could give this a look.
(If so, please modify the request and assign it to
yourself to tell everyone it's taken.)

The buttons I think are less useful are the clipboard
buttons, perhaps find/replace (debatable), perhaps
print (people don't print that much), and perhaps
undo/redo.

The key is making the file buttons and the
compile/reset/abort buttons more prominent.
