Clickable trailing icon support for the Input component

It is now possible with the Input component to make an icon placed to the right clickable.

The most common use case is for password inputs where the user can show and hide the typed password and check whether the password is typed correctly.

Icons aligned in Brand Central

Working with our friends in Corporate Branding, we have now updated the icons in Brand Central so that they align with the Maersk Design System icons.

New icons added to the Maersk Design System will be uploaded to Brand Central from now on 😍.
