Description

Following the work done Shoreditch theme, the navigation menu items will have an icons, and due to the way navigation menu get build it is not possible to achieve this inside an extension without overriding core files which is not a great solution.

So instead, the ability to add icons to navigation menu items should be added to CiviCRM core where a new text field to (add menu item) form will be added and called (icon) that allow users to insert any CSS class name (which could be the already available in CiviCRM Font Awesome icons) or any other kind of icons the user want.
