Describe the Bug
Astro Icon uses the deprecated xlink:href attribute and it gives me linting errors.
https://github.com/natemoo-re/astro-icon/blob/a4ff8736965214e16ce0b72364f43b3a4973f281/packages/core/components/Icon.astro#L123-L126
Below is an excerpt from the relevant part of SVG spec:
In previous versions of SVG, the ‘href’ attribute was specified in the XLink namespace [xlink] namespace. This usage is now deprecated and instead URL references should be specified using the ‘href’ attribute without a namespace.
What's the expected result?
The href attribute should be used instead.
I can submit a PR, but would you think this is a breaking change although icon visuals remain the same? If you do, I'd like to discuss how we keep compatibility before working on the fix.

We just ran into this issue too and for some reason we have a scenario where the xlink:href does not work, replacing it with href makes the icon show up.
Thank you for filing the issue. I have created a PR with the fix.
