refactor(material/button): handle disabled state of icon buttons through tokens

* Fixes that icon buttons weren't using the right token for disabled state.
* Fixes that the specificity of the icon button disabled styles was really high.
* Moves the logic for generating the palette tokens into the icon button tokens file.
* Fixes one place where we were referencing a token directly instead of using the API to generate the name.
