icons: Easily Insert SVG Icons into R Outputs

Provides tools to download, style, and insert scalable vector graphics (SVG) icons into R output, such as 'R Markdown' and 'Quarto' documents, 'Shiny' apps, 'gt' tables, and 'ggplot2' visualisations via the 'ggicons' package. Bundles popular icon libraries, such as 'Font Awesome' (<https://fontawesome.com>), 'Academicons' (<https://jpswalsh.github.io/academicons/>), and 'Material Design Icons' (<https://fonts.google.com/icons>), which are downloaded on demand to keep the package small, or build a custom icon set from any folder of local SVG files. Icon appearance, such as size, colour, and position, can be customised.
