[Icons] Icons renaming batch

[JoseLuisGJ]

Summary

Renaming batch of icons EUI icons, creating aliases with the previous names for each one in order to support the consumption using the old name references. Also fixing the wrong naming convention for some svgs using camel case instead of snake case.

Why are we making this change?

As a part of the new Borealis visual refresh @MichaelMarcialis reviewed also the naming conventions and with the goal of make easier the process for searching icons and simplify the meaning of all of them there were many naming changes proposed into this list

⚠️ CRITICAL CONFLICTS DETECTED ⚠️

5 NAMING CONFLICTS REQUIRE RESOLUTION BEFORE IMPLEMENTATION

Conflict 1: arrowDown
Phase 1: arrowDown → chevronSingleDown
Phase 2: sortDown → arrowDown
❌ Result: current sortDown and arrowDown will swap the glyphs

Conflict 2: arrowLeft
Phase 1: arrowLeft → chevronSingleLeft
Phase 2: sortLeft → arrowLeft
❌ Result: current sortLeft and arrowLeft will swap the glyphs

Conflict 3: arrowRight
Phase 1: arrowRight → chevronSingleRight
Phase 2: sortRight → arrowRight
❌ Result: current sortRight and arrowRight will swap the glyphs

Conflict 4: arrowUp
Phase 1: arrowUp → chevronSingleUp
Phase 2: sortUp → arrowUp
❌ Result: current sortUp and arrowUp will swap the glyphs

Conflict 5: invert
Phase 3: merge → invert
Phase 5: invert → contrast
❌ Result: current merge and invert will swap the glyphs

RESOLUTION STRATEGIES

1. Make only these changes for conflicting names:
   Phase 1: arrowDown → chevronSingleDown
   Phase 1: arrowLeft → chevronSingleLeft
   Phase 1: arrowRight → chevronSingleRight
   Phase 1: arrowUp → chevronSingleUp

2. Pause the renaming and find a new name proposal for currents sortDown, sortUp, sortLeft and sortRight

3. Pause the renaming and find an alternative for the current merge and invert icons

Impact to users

All the renamed icons have a new alias pointing out to the new references, so that it shouldn't have an impact on final users. The new aliases to be deprecated are signposted with a comment into the icon_map.ts file. These deprecations might me tackled in another PR and will have an impact in Kibana users.

[weronikaolejniczak]

We have:

• chevron_limit_left.tsx
• chevron_limitLeft.tsx
• chevronLimitLeft.tsx

is this expected? Shouldn't it be just chevron_limit_left.tsx and chevronLimitLeft.tsx?

[weronikaolejniczak]

Absolutely love the change from arrow to chevron ❤️

[weronikaolejniczak]

It could be worth looking at #9275 (that's where the snapshot conflicts are coming from). Is this the naming we'd like for it?
