Support unicode emojis and remove emojify.js (#11032)
* Support unicode emojis and remove emojify.js

This PR replaces all use of emojify.js and adds unicode emoji support to various areas of gitea.

This works in a few ways:

First it adds emoji parsing support into gitea itself. This allows us to

 * Render emojis from valid alias (😄)
 * Detect unicode emojis and let us put them in their own class with proper aria-labels and styling
 * Easily allow for custom "emoji"
 * Support all emoji rendering and features without javascript
 * Uses plain unicode and lets the system render in appropriate emoji font
 * Doesn't leave us relying on external sources for updates/fixes/features

That same list of emoji is also used to create a json file which replaces the part of emojify.js that populates the emoji search tribute. This file is about 35KB with GZIP turned on and I've set it to load after the page renders to not hinder page load time (and this removes loading emojify.js also)

For custom "emoji" it uses a pretty simple scheme of just looking for /emojis/img/name.png where name is something a user has put in the "allowed reactions" setting we already have. The gitea reaction that was previously hard coded into a forked copy of emojify.js is included and works as a custom reaction under this method.

The emoji data sourced here is from https://github.com/github/gemoji which is the gem library Github uses for their emoji rendering (and a data source for other sites). So we should be able to easily render any emoji and :alias: that Github can, removing any errors from migrated content. They also update it as well, so we can sync when there are new unicode emoji lists released.

I've included a slimmed down and slightly modified forked copy of https://github.com/knq/emoji to make up our own emoji module. The code is pretty straight forward and again allows us to have a lot of flexibility in what happens.

I had seen a few comments about performance in some of the other threads if we render this ourselves, but there doesn't seem to be any issue here. In a test it can parse, convert, and render 1,000 emojis inside of a large markdown table in about 100ms on my laptop (which is many more emojis than will ever be in any normal issue). This also prevents any flickering and other weirdness from using javascript to render some things while using go for others.

Not included here are image fall back URLS. I don't really think they are necessary for anything new being written in 2020. However, managing the emoji ourselves would allow us to add these as a feature later on if it seems necessary.

What is Gitea?

Gitea is a painless self-hosted Git service. It is similar to GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab. Gitea is a fork of Gogs. See the Gitea Announcement blog post to read about the justification for a fork.

Purpose

The goal of this project is to provide the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service. With Go, this can be done with an independent binary distribution across all platforms and architectures that Go supports. This support includes Linux, macOS, and Windows, on architectures like amd64, i386, ARM, PowerPC, and others.

System Requirements

  • A Raspberry Pi 3 is powerful enough to run Gitea for small workloads.
  • 2 CPU cores and 1GB RAM is typically sufficient for small teams/projects.
  • Gitea should be run with a dedicated non-root system account on UNIX-type systems.
    • Note: Gitea manages the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Running Gitea as a regular user could break that user's ability to log in.
  • Git version 1.7.2 or later is required. Version 1.9.0 or later is recommended. Also please note:
    • Git large file storage will be available if enabled when git >= 2.1.2.
    • Git commit-graph rendering will be enabled automatically when git >= 2.18.

Browser Support

  • Please see Semantic UI for specific versions of supported browsers.
