1. fix(icon): remove automatic aria labelling and add a11y guidance …

   The automatic application of aria-label for md-icon, in hindsight, was
   not a great idea. Neither the ligature string nor the SVG filename are
   likely to be meaningful descriptions. Even in cases where they *are*,
   the icon may be used in such a way that the application of a label is
   still the wrong thing. On top of that, adding `role="img"` is usually
   not the right approach for an icon, as that role typically refers to
   *content* images, rather than icons that are part of the UI.
   
   Ultimately, it is up to the application developer to add the appropriate
   meaning for icons based on how they're used. To this end, we add
   guidance to the documentation for what to do in different situations.
