Description
To support replacing Dashicons with SVG icons in admin screens via #65089, we need a way to register an icon which is available via wp_get_icon() but not available via REST API and not exposed in the Icon block.
The current consensus of the approach has been discussed here: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/79451#issuecomment-4797981729. In short, we propose to allow a new property public when registering an icon via wp_register_icon().
Here's a summary of the behavior:
| Registered with | Registry / wp_get_icon() | REST API / Icon block |
public omitted or true | yes | yes |
public: false | yes | no |

## What
This PR allows an optional boolean
publicproperty to icon registration viawp_register_icon().Icons registered with
public: falsewill still be available throughwp_get_icon(), but the REST API will not return them, so they aren't exposed in the Icon block.As a back-compatibility, if we don't provide a
publicproperty, the default istrueand the behavior will be the same as the existing behavior.Here's a summary of the behavior:
