material-ui [icons] Bring back icon testid

Avoid split brain between dev and production. It's too confusing. This brings back the testid, but allows for removing it with property legacyTestid. We can invert the default in v8.

Use the theme defaultProps to turn off this option globally:

const theme = createTheme({
  components: {
    SvgIcon: {
      defaultProps: {
        legacyTestid: false,
      },
    },
  },
});

Plan:

v7.x: introduce the legacyTestid prop with default true to avoid breaking change.
v8.0: make it default to false, the user must always explicitly turn it on in any environment.

@Janpot would love to have this merged too. This in the only point missing to migrate from V6 to V7. Our big E2E suites are breaking due this.
