[csswg-drafts] [css-font] Drop the emoji font-family (#9359)

frivoal has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-font] Drop the emoji font-family ==
I may be missing something, but I think the `emoji` font family serves no useful purpose, and does not have well defined behavior, so we should drop it.

The only thing I think it could reasonably be used for is better served by the `font-variant-emoji` property: for the few characters that can ambiguously have an emoji rendering, or a symbol rendering, this lets you pick how they are rendered.

Other than this choice of variant, which is better defined in and better suited to `font-variant-emoji` property, it seems to me that an emoji font-family doesn't make sense.

Am I missing something? If no, we should drop that family.
