What?

Clarify the accepted format for icon names in the public Icons API PHPDoc.

Why?

Gutenberg 22.9 tightened icon-name validation in #76079, following an API-review gap recorded in #72215. @im3dabasia implemented the validation, while @mcsf and @t-hamano refined the public naming contract and its WordPress 7.1 compatibility boundary.
