Subject: [PATCH] fix(list): incorrect padding for list-items with avatars,
 icons

Currently list-items with an avatar, icon or checkbox have a both-sided margin for the text of 16px, while there is still a padding of 16px for the `mat-list-item-content` of 16px. This means that there is a 32px padding, that is not valid per specs.

The padding for the mat-list-text should be just on the side of the secondary item (e.g. avatar, icon or checkbox), and the other side should have no padding, because the `mat-list-item-content` already has a padding for that one.

Fixes #9156
