Update Twemoji

Currently, the forum "Smileys" only contains a subset of emojis available from Twemoji. Each version of Unicode standard also adds in more and more emojis. This makes Smileys somewhat limited, and because of this, members use a mixture of Smileys and actual emoji letters, creating the inconsistent look and experience.
Each revision of Twemoji also adjusts how some of the emojis look, to express the ideas more accurately, to reflect on their values, and to be more in line with the guidelines and standard. Currently, Smileys is using an old version of Twemoji.

Please update the existing Smileys to match the new styles, and adds all the missing ones into Smileys.

Adding twemoji to phpBB wasn't really an easy task, it requires some scripting and workarounds to generate a pack compatible for the import, I'm afraid that updating wouldn't be as easy as doing it again since some emojis currently used could be lost like it happened after the migration the first time

I'm not saying it's not possible, but chances are if I do that I might risk to mess up the current emojis and that I wouldn't be able to roll back, also considering I don't have a test version of the forum to test with
The outcome is not really worth the effort and the risk
