Description
#### Feature Description
Current implementation of `mat-icon` is incomplete, we can only use icons of filled style. We need a way to easily use outlined, rounded, sharp and two tone variant of material icons, something looking like:
```html
```
#### Use Case
Currently, using outlined, rounded, sharp and two tone variant of material icons is really inconvenient. We need to use some workaround, like
```javascript
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons|Material+Icons+Outlined");
```
```html
home
```
which is discussed in https://github.com/angular/components/issues/11544, and this method does not make use of `mat-icon`, as it's a general web solution to use oulined icons.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the current mat-icon implementation and the related discussion in issue 11544. Confirm how filled icons are currently selected, then define how outlined, rounded, sharp, and two-tone variants should be exposed through mat-icon; done means each requested variant works without the documented CSS workaround.
