Silence arrow icons in dropdown menus
From https://buganizer.corp.google.com/issues/337268535
Observed Results
Navigating through the left menu specifically through the lists inside drop downs, I noticed that the arrow icon is announced.
Expected Results
Ensure that the icons that are decorative should not be announced by SR.
User Impact
Screen reader and Cognitive users are not comfortable listening to unnecessary information to them.
