A performance issue with rendering a massive amount of svg files

Describe the solution you'd like

Using the emoji I’d, we can replace the YouTube svg emoji with either a png counterpart or with the system emoji counterpart

Expected behavior

YouTube emojis, which often get spammed, should be replaced with a png counterpart, or even better, a system emoji.

Here’s what we use in iOS to convert the svg to emoji: https://github.com/LiveTL/ios/blob/f57350745dd7c82aef04e520c3d581022b8cb42f/ios/Views/StreamView/ChatCell/ChatCell.swift#L56

Do note that if you mess up the png path, it will go and return (and in some cases, attempt to render) the entire YouTube 404 page

regex to find the url with default svg emoji within the messages

Seems like only "standard" emojis are being served with SVGs for now. I'd rather switch them to their unicode counterparts (which is fortunately provided in the json as alt text) than changing the URLs in case YT stops providing the pngs or something.

hm, perhaps we should make this an option disabled by default instead of forcing it?

Adding an option would also fix #46
