New mode to support github's emoji api #124

Open regexb opened 9 years ago

We should add in a "github" mode that uses the github emoji endpoint as the sources for emoji. Would be an easier way to get started quickly with the iconset that github uses.

Docs - https://developer.github.com/v3/emojis/

Benefits -

Eliminate the need to host resources.
Stay in sync with the latest github emoji.

Yeah this has kind of been on hold lately, it would be nice to see a PR :wink:

The only thing is I don't think it'd be great to limit ourselves to just the GitHub emoji, in an ideal world, we'd be able to use different sets (EmojiOne, Twitter etc.)
