🚀 Required fields should not add a * automatically

[fraincs]

Description

Enforcing a * on required field labels has been problematic in instances where all fields or most fields are required. In certain instances there is a need to write required instead of having a * or not when a form has a single field a required * seems unnecessary.

That's why we should let it to the user to add the required / * when needed.

Upon further thinking adding a prop in order to add a required suffix to the labels when needed, an optional suffix should also be available.

necessityIndicator could be a prop available at the Form level as well as at the Field level, adding * to required fields when necessityIndicator is set to required and (optional) to non required fields when necessityIndicator is set to optional.

I am not sure letting the developer choose it's own "required / *" is a good idea since Orbit is a design system and should provide a consistant way to indicate required fields.

We're still stuck with an issue where in some instances a required is better, like in small forme (signup forms for exemple) and redundant when all fields are required ou all except one.

What is the issue when all fields are required? Or all except one?

The fact that the developer must specify the required prop on all the Label components? Is so, could you elaborate on why it's an issue? (other than it's redundant)

I don't get why for some forms the necessity indicator should be different? Do you have any examples that could help me understand? My thinking is that Orbit purpose is to build a coherent system for our UI. With that in mind, I don't get why we'll want to show our users different necessity indicators?
