fix: render slack emoji shortcodes as unicode characters (#12928)

This PR fixes an issue where Slack emojis are rendered as text
shortcodes (e.g. 🚀) instead of the actual emoji characters in
Chatwoot messages.

It introduces a new EmojiFormatter class that uses the emoji-data
mapping to convert shortcodes to unicode characters.
