Extension of beeware/beeware-docs-tools#273.
I've just received a notification that we've exceeded our monthly page loads for the Font Awesome pack. Material theme includes baked-in Font Awesome icons, so we don't need to use the CDN content to serve them, removing something we need to pay for from our stack.
The Material theme handles most of this transparently; however, there was one reference to a
github_iconthat doesn't appear to be used anywhere, and the Team page used CDN-based references for email/Mastodon/gender icons. This modifies thefa()macro to use direct embedding of the Material-provided SVGs instead.Marked ready for review; it currently points at the under-review branch of docs-tools, which needs to be landed, then the final commit on this PR reverted before landing.
