draw the crosshair toolbar icon from inline XPM data

The crosshair toggle button loaded the "crosshairs" icon from the
icon theme inside a bare try/except, so on systems without that
icon the button was empty and invisible. Replace it with a
self-contained red reticle (circle, center dot, cross arms) drawn
from inline XPM data, and set always-show-image so the desktop
default gtk-button-images=False cannot hide it.
