In the interest of shipping a simpler version of this library that supports only Unicode emoji out-of-the-box, this removes all custom emoji such as :octocat: and :trollface:.

Most of the custom emoji were kept for a long time for historical reasons, but nowadays see little use on GitHub. We're going to keep support for :octocat: and :shipit: by moving them into our app, but we're going to say goodbye to others. 👋

If you need to bring any of these back into your app, it's easy:

requre "gemoji"
Emoji.create("bowtie")

Simply keep bowtie.png that's already present in your app, or get the old images from here https://github.com/github/gemoji/tree/4b2d44d272c2b3224e91d7ce873a9bda0946add3/images

Closes #120, closes #128, fixes #149, closes #124

On GitHub.com, people predominantly use `:octocat:` and `:shipit:`, but
other custom emoji not as much. These two most used custom emoji also
happen to be specific to the GitHub brand, so it makes more sense that
we add them as custom emoji in the app itself rather than shipping them
with the gemoji library.
We no longer ship any images to extract.
