Fix regression from !42669

What does this MR do?

!42669 (merged) introduced feature regressions, detailed here !42669 (comment 429055293). This MR fixes those regressions.

Postmortem

GFM is weird. More specifically, atwho is weird. To make !42669 (merged) work, I had to:

  • Expand the list of 'names' passed to atwho to include descriptions and unicode values, in addition to names
  • Post-process the results that match, translating a matched value into an emoji, where the matched value could be a name, description, or unicode value, without knowing which.

This lead to weirdness.
