feature: select drop down for icon

[littlecorsican]

I always thought its a bit inconvenient to have to go to material icon website to refer to the icon name and then input it by typing it into an input box.

i prefer a drop down select where user just select it. the list of icons is stored in /constant/materialDesignIcon. so that list can be extended if you want to add more options to it.

i would have preferred having a preview icon right beside the text in the drop down menu but this cant be done natively via html select, we need to use external library for that. maybe this can be considered in the future.

Thanks for the PR. I like the idea of making icon selection easier.

One small concern: changing the icon field to a fixed dropdown means users can only choose from the icons in the list. Right now, users can type any Material Design icon name, like food, even if it is not in the provided list.

Could we keep it as a text input, but still show suggestions while typing? A <datalist> should work well for this. It gives users suggested icons, but still lets them type any valid icon name.

Example:

const handleIconChange = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
  setIconInput(e.target.value);
  setIcon(e.target.value.toLowerCase());
};

<input
  id="icon"
  type="text"
  value={iconInput}
  onChange={handleIconChange}
  list="material-design-icons"
  autoComplete="off"
  placeholder="Enter Material Design Icon name"
  style={errors.icon ? { border: '1px solid #ff4444', boxShadow: '0 0 5px rgba(255, 68, 68, 0.3)' } : {}}
/>

<datalist id="material-design-icons">
  {MATERIAL_DESIGN_ICON_OPTIONS.map((iconOption) => (
    <option key={iconOption.value} value={iconOption.value}>
      {iconOption.label}
    </option>
  ))}
</datalist>

This way we get the helpful suggestions, but users can still enter any Material Design icon they want.

i made 1 commit for that. however i didnt use the value in the options, thought it look a bit goofy to have the value displayed.
