Update color emoji font and assets for new design.

This design is the one used in Android O.

The blobs are dead.  Long live the blobs.

Gone, but not forgotten.

It is possible to go back in git history and get the blob versions of the images you want, then rebuild the color emoji font with a custom image set. You’d still have to install the font on the devices you use, though. I think on Android you have to root the device to install custom system fonts.

And, as the excellent https://www.colorfonts.wtf/ website points out, Chrome currently doesn’t support any color font flavor, really.

I think we ought to concentrate on lobbying browser vendors to support OpenType+SVG based WOFF2 (since all browsers have an SVG renderer already, right? 😃 ). We can forget about the other flavors for the purpose of the web, I think. Even OT+SVG can support PNG bitmaps after all.
