Replace FontAwesome icons in banner with gitlab/svg icons

Sarah German requested to merge 1162-fontawesome-banner into main

Why

FontAwesome is awesome, but using icons from gitlab/svgs (also awesome) will align better with other GitLab properties, and we can more easily pull in upstream updates as needed.

Dropping FontAwesome will eventually yield a small performance boost as well (currently we load both FontAwesome + Gitlab/SVGs).

How to test

  1. Run the site locally
  2. Edit content/_data/banner.yaml to show the banner (set show_banner to true)
  3. Verify the Tanuki icon appears on either side of the banner text, with appropriate spacing
