## Details `mini.icons` is an alternative to `nvim-web-devicons` that is getting support from quite a few plugins. This change adds native support for the plugin so users do not need to mock it via `mock_nvim_web_devicons`. Currently `nvim-web-devicons` is used in the `buffer` and `filetype` components. Created a separate `icons` module to store the icon related logic which now gets used by both of these components. The logic is to first check if `mini.icons` exists and has been setup, if so for the `buffer` component use `get` with the `file` category, for `filetype` use `get` with the `filetype` category. It may make sense to use the `file` category for both. From there the fallback to use `nvim-web-devicons` or `vim-devicons` is kept identical.

nvim-web-deviconsorvim-deviconsis kept identical.If this is something you'd prefer not to have I can understand, the
mock_nvim_web_deviconsis not a bad alternative. Only downsides are all the additional highlight groups and additional startup time formini.icons, but both are minor.
