[FEATURE_REQUEST] Add support for Font-Awesome V6

[Lissy93]

Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe.

Currently only icons in FA V5 can be used. This is because the newer version of Font Awesome fetches and names icons differently. This ticket proposes adding support for the newer FA V6 icons, while keeping backwards compatibility.

Describe the solution you'd like

So currently FA icons are just pulled in dynamically like:

<i :class="`${icon} ${size}`" ></i>

I reckon using the webfont would be the best option. This can also be self-hosted, for full offline usage, or possible installed as a dependency (if it's not too large - I'll need to check).

Icons in V5 are named differently from those in V6, so thought will need to be given on how to prevent any breaking changes. If not possible, maybe this is going to be a job for Dashy V3 which is having several parts completely re-written, and therefore won't be backwards compatible anyway.

Priority

Medium (Would be very useful)

Is this something you would be keen to implement

Yes!
