Icon Font Technique Draft Ported to GitHub (was Re: Anything for a possible 2.2?)

Hi Alastair, Jim, and all,

I ported the Icon Font Technique Draft over to GitHub:
https://github.com/w3c/wcag/blob/tech-icon-font-img-role/techniques/aria/icon-font-img-role.html

Edit at will!

Kindest Regards,
Laura
