bug: mission `ionicon` class in `./dist/svg/*.svg` files

[sto3psl]

Current Behavior

In my project I'm loading SVGs from ./dist/svg/* and style them by using the ionicon class on the svg tag. This worked fine until [email protected] but [email protected] removed that class in a patch release, rendering my icons in a broken state.

This is the PR that introduced the change https://github.com/ionic-team/ionicons/pull/1313.

I don't know if this was an accident and should continue to work or if I'm "holding it wrong" and users of the npm package are not supposed to load stuff from ./dist/svg/. I'm hoping for the first option.

[!NOTE] ionicon class missing.

Expected Behavior

All SVG files within /dist/svg/ include a class="ionicon" on their <svg> tag, like it's been for multiple major versions.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install [email protected].
2. See that icons within node_modules/ionicons/dist/svg/* have class="ionicon" on their <svg> tag.
3. Install [email protected].
4. The class attribute on the <svg> tag is gone.

I'm not really sure why we ship the SVGs in two different locations, but the icons at dist/ionicons/svg have the correct class that you can use for now. I'll take a closer look and see why we have both distributions.

Oh that's good to know, thanks! These icons are still a bit different from the ones in dist/svg/ but I can work with that.
