lebaudantoine 09b7a23f51 ️(frontend) switch Material icons strategy to per-icon SVG imports
Material icons (and Symbols, the most recent ones from Google
Material) were initially adopted to align with the UI kit. Before
that, we relied on Remixicon, which loads only the icons used and
totals 40ko for the whole library.

To benefit from Material icons, the implementation matched the UI
kit, which uses two fonts: 150ko and 750ko. Unlike the UI kit, the
fonts were preloaded to prevent icon render blinks. On products using
UI kit, the fonts are loaded the first time an icon renders,
and because they are heavy, the icon swap is visible to the user.
Icons are replaced by their text label in the meantime, which also
caused screen-reader vocalization or i18n issues that had to be mitigated.

Preloading the fonts was a quick win that worked fine on high-speed
connections where fonts get loaded fast then cached. However, while
optimizing LCP for users on poor connections (a separate concern that
already affects videoconference joining), preloading proved harmful:
it stole network bandwidth at the most critical moment,
when the main JS chunk was loading.

Switch to a frugal approach: import only the SVG icons actually
needed from Material, treated as components so they are tree-shaken
and customizable (color, etc.). Icons do not change often, so the DX
remains good. The UI kit also supports custom icons not available in
the font, so this approach lets us define them and works like a
charm.

Removal of Remixicon is planned in a follow-up PR.

It save user loading almost 1Mo of assets for few icons.
