Now we currently always display the sorting arrow when the column is sortable, but to lighten the interface we want to only display the sorting arrow:

• when the user hover the header of a sortable column. In this case the arrow icon use the color gray.
• when the column is sorted. In this case the arrow icon use the color accent and accent_dark when the user hover it.

We can only display the indicator when the column is sorted, but I can't find an easy solution to display the arrow on hover as the sortIndicator is managed on the implementation side. It seems complicated to do it with the code we have now.

I propose to merge SortIndicator into TableHeadCell because:

• SortIndicator can only be used into TableHeadCell
• To easily manage interactions between the TableHeadCell and the SortIndicator

This change introduces a breaking change, as we only have a few tables implemented it can be the right time to do this kind of modification.

What do you think @jahia-ci (Vindhya Raviraj ) ?
