A11y: Ensure icons are not spoken by screen readers.

For all CSS generated icons across core, either add aria-hidden="true" to the HTML wrapper or set the generated content alternative to an empty string in the CSS using the alternative text specification for CSS generated content.

Props afercia, joedolson, cheffheid, jhabdas.
Fixes #40428.
