Gemoji implementation depends on `codepoints` and test depend on some
more Ruby 1.9-only features, so don't pretend that the library will be
1.8 compatible anytime soon. Probably never.
This reverts commit 6a781b6474.
Previously, emoji name & unicode aliases were determined by following
symlinks among `images/emoji/*.png`. This led to nontrivial code for
resolving these aliases, made it tricky for contributors to add new
aliases and inspect existing ones, and didn't leave room for adding
metadata to emojis such as tags or descriptions from the Unicode spec.
Moreover, the aliases as symlinks led to duplication of image assets in
users' applications, with `hocho.png` and `knife.png` representing the
same emoji but being two separate images. Users were also unsure what to
do with `unicode/{HEX-NAME}.png` files, which would end up among their
images after running the `:emoji` task.
This change removes the symlinks support and creates the list of emojis
and their aliases in `emoji.json`. A single emoji is now represented with
an Emoji::Character instance, which has the `image_filename` method to
determine the path to the corresponding image instead of having to
construct it manually.
