Use native unicode emojis

 - gl_emoji for falling back to image/css-sprite when the browser
   doesn't support an emoji
 - Markdown rendering (Banzai filter)
 - Autocomplete
 - Award emoji menu
    - Perceived perf
    - Immediate response because we now build client-side
 - Update `digests.json` generation in gemojione rake task to be more
   useful and  include `unicodeVersion`
