AmbiancePlus (shade/stick/above)

- Short -
Add the buttons (right side or left side) SHADE/STICK/ABOVE in the original theme of Ubuntu "Ambiance"

- Full -
-Ubuntu metacity theme "Ambiance" dont support anymore since long time metacity V2 new buttons fonctions shade/stick/above (like a lot of themes), and now they stoped to support the V2 at all (no more metacity-theme-2.xml file !).
-Leo_Zappa done a version of "Ambiance" compatible with metacity V2.
-I just created PNG files to have a normal use of SHADE/STICK/ABOVE and adaped te code to use them.

- Install -
I done this for Ubuntu 14.10 (gnome-classic compiz session), but it can work with other comfig (or not).
