[SideNavigationItem][A11y]: Duplicate text announced by screen readers for some icons in SideNavigationItem

[AlekseiSch]

Bug Description

When using the SideNavigationItem component with certain icons, such as action-settings, screen readers (JAWS and NVDA) announce the element's text twice. For instance, the element is read as "settings settings". This issue occurs because some icons include an aria-label attribute, which causes redundant text to be read by screen readers.

<SideNavigationItem
icon="action-settings"
text="Settings"
onClick={() => {}}
selected={}
onSelect={() => {}}
/>

Affected Component

SideNavigationItem

Expected Behaviour

Screen readers should announce the element's text only once, e.g., "Settings", without duplicating the name from the icon.

Isolated Example

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the SideNavigationItem with an icon "action-settings".
2. Open the application in a web browser.
3. Launch a screen reader (e.g., JAWS or NVDA).
4. Navigate to the SideNavigationItem in the UI by using navigation keys.
5. Observe how the screen reader announces the element:
   Expected: "Settings" (once).
   Actual: "Settings settings" (text is duplicated).
6. Test with other icons in the SideNavigationItem to see if the issue persists.
