Generic icon element

[AustinErck]

Add a generic Icon component that takes a prop called icon which allows us to dynamically change the icon based on a string.

mdi-react uses inline SVG which makes it kinda difficult or even impossible to create a generic Icon component. For that an icon font or similar would be necessary.
I will close this for now.
But I'm curious: What's your use case you need a generic Icon component for?

[AustinErck]

I wanted to create a custom button component with a couple things wrapped around a button. Currently I'm using a switch statement to select (from a small number of icons I need) the icon that appears in the button.

I would suggest you to add an icon prop which accepts a component instead of a string.
