In 16e3058, a FONT_AWESOME setting was introduced and used as such:
"https://kit.fontawesome.com/{{ FONT_AWESOME }}.js"
Also in 16e3058, the default way to fetch Font Awesome was changed to
Javascript (before we used to load is as CSS).
The present commit does several changes:
- Revert the default back to CSS (instead of JS), as I think that for a
font, there's no need for Javascript. A font is a static asset, so
it's enough to load it as a static CSS file, both for privacy and
security. Also, think about those who disable JS in their browser.
- Remove the `FONT_AWESOME` setting, as it's a bit too limiting to force
users into `kit.fontawesome.com`, it doesn't leave much space for
configuration.
- Instead, introduce two variables `FONT_AWESOME_CSS` and
`FONT_AWESOME_JS`, so that users have more freedom to define how they
want to load the Font Awesome.
- Use Fork Awesome as the default, if no setting is given by user.
Meaning that we get back to the `fa` css classes (instead of `fas` or
`fab`)

By default, the theme uses Fork Awesome, which is fetched from
cdn.jsdelivr.net. Fork Awesome is a drop-in replacement for Font Awesome v4,
but is not compatible with Font Awesome v5 and later, so if you want to use
Font Awesome v5+, setting FONT_AWESOME_CSS is not enough, you will also need
to modify the templates.
