Use more commonly-used emoji shortname

Gary Wang requested to merge garywang/neochat:emoji-shortname into master

This patch will ensure most of the emojis will use a more commonly-used shortname. This patch aligns the shortname to GitLab, most platforms (e.g. Discord, GitHub) uses pretty similar shortnames to GitLab's so user will be easier to find their desired emoji.

By the way. I saw other MR that trying to add localized names for emoji, which is a good thing, but I think we can do better by...

  1. I think emoji name and emoji description is different from emoji shortnames, we can localize the name and the description, we can also let user search emoji if the description match the given input, but don't localize the shortname.
  2. The emoji stuff can be used elsewhere (e.g. maybe tokodon?), maybe we can put it to KItemModel or some other repo so other project can reuse the code, and maybe translation of the emoji names/descriptions?
