Use @angular/common/http in MdIconModule

[HitomiTenshi]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

This is a request.

Description

MdIconModule is using @angular/http which will be deprecated in angular v5.

angular/angular#18906

Removing @angular/http from my imports results in an error:

Error: Could not find Http provider for use with Angular Material icons. Please include the HttpModule from @angular/http in your app imports.

Are there any plans to move to @angular/common/http for the upcoming angular v5 release?

What is the expected behavior?

No errors.

What is the current behavior?

Errors when not importing @angular/http.

What are the steps to reproduce?

Use MdIconModule without importing @angular/http.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Move to the new @angular/common/http API. I'm using it already, would remove the need for me to import @angular/http.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

@angular/material v2.0.0-beta.10

Will be done in #6702.
