Standard icons for device types

[jonsmirl]

It would be nice to have a defined standard set of icons for the Matter device types. That way everyone will use the same ones and not design their own or pick random ones (like I am doing right now).

Let's make sure we make the distinction between this "Google Home Sample App For Matter" (this github project), and "Matter" at https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip and https://csa-iot.org/.

What we can improve in this project is only related to GHSAFM. When I have a minute, I'll beef up the app with additional icons that we will use for GHSAFM and that you'll be free to use in your own app.

But if we talk about "Matter standardization of these icons", this would have to be discussed with the CSA. Best way to have an impact is to join: https://csa-iot.org/become-member/

I would just like to see a standard set icons on Android and Google apps. I don't want to look at the same device in Google Home, GHSAFM and our app and see varying icons for the same device while on the same Android OS.

After Google develops a good standard set, maybe it will see wider use, but that is not my initial goal.
