 Make dashicons invisible to assistive technologies which can read CSS-
 generated content using the `:before` selector.

 For example, the dashicon we add before the xProfiles component is
 `\f336`. Without `aria-hidden="true"` in the markup, the screen reader
 will spell it out character by character, "backslash f 3 3 6". Attaching
 patch to fix this issue.
