Revert PR #315: Restore emoji-based navigation and dashboard icons

[Copilot]

This PR reverts the changes made in PR #315 ("Replaced navibar and dashboard emojis with Professional Icons") and restores the original emoji-based icon system for navigation and dashboard components.

Changes Made

Removed Professional Icon Components

• Deleted src/components/navbar/NavbarIcon.tsx - Component that mapped names to Lucide React icons
• Deleted src/components/navbar/NavbarIconInjector.tsx - Component that dynamically injected professional icons into navbar elements

Restored Emoji-Based Navigation

Updated docusaurus.config.ts to use emojis directly with the nav-emoji CSS class instead of placeholder spans:

- html: '<span id="nav-docs"></span> Docs',
+ html: '<span class="nav-emoji">📚</span> Docs',

- html: '<span id="nav-dashboard"></span> Dashboard', 
+ html: '<span class="nav-emoji">📊</span> Dashboard',

Updated Dashboard Components

• Dashboard sidebar navigation now uses emojis (📊 Home, 📺 Discuss, 🏅 Leaderboard, 💰 Giveaway)
• Discussion category filters converted from Lucide icons to emojis (📢 Announcements, 💡 Ideas, ❓ Q&A, ⭐ Show & Tell, 💬 General)
• Discussion tabs updated to use emoji indicators (📈 Trending, ❓ Unanswered)
• Search functionality restored to use 🔍 emoji instead of Lucide Search icon

Cleaned Up Dependencies

• Removed imports of NavbarIcon and NavbarIconInjector from all consuming components
• Removed NavbarIconInjector usage from src/theme/Navbar/index.tsx
• Preserved existing nav-emoji CSS classes that handle responsive emoji display

Impact

This change restores the navigation bar and dashboard to their original state before PR #315, using the familiar emoji-based icon system. The existing responsive CSS for nav-emoji class ensures proper display across different screen sizes. All functionality remains unchanged - only the visual representation has been reverted from professional icons back to emojis.

Closes the issue requesting reversion of PR #315 changes.
