svg icon registration doesn't work on server platform

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Bug: svg icons doesn't work on server.

What is the expected behavior?

It should work on server too.

What is the current behavior?

Icon registration is tightly coupled with DOM and depends on document to be available which breaks its compatibility with server platform.

What are the steps to reproduce?

Use svg icons on server platform.

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

It feels quite normal to have svg icons work on server.

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

@angular/material@beta.8

Is there anything else we should know?

Nope.

Is it okay to use a library like jsdom to implement this ?

@FadySamirSadek unlikely, since platform-server uses domino see https://github.com/fgnass/domino
