Add support for native style emoji

[elronalds]

It would be awesome to have support for the different emoji sprite sheets available at https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data

They support some of the native style emoji images as well as Twitter and emojione.

It would be a great feature! The only downside that I see from using a datasource like that is it will always be a little out of date and we're dependent on iamcal to keep it so.

I think there is build scripts in the iamcal/emoji-data project that can help with the updating - not sure how automated it is yet. I'll take a look at it later. They aren't using the Q1 2016 emojione update yet. I believe they already have the latest Apple emoji added though.

I just checked into this and the build scripts are fairly straight forward to update these if they need to be done ourself in a fork. I ran through the update for the emojione Q1 2016 update without issues. There is already a pending push request for that update.

I have forked the emoji-data project at https://github.com/elronalds/emoji-data and updated it to the emojione 2016 Q1 update and submitted a PR to iamcal. I'm happy to maintain and keep this up-to-date.

I think the first step for this would be adding support for the emoji-data sprite files. Let me know what you think @tommoor

Would there be anything wrong with using the native emojis by using shortnameToUnicode instead of shortnameToImage? Then you could just pass in a useNative prop into emojiPicker?

Hey Nate,

You could do this although platform support is inconsistent - if you know
that it will only be used on a Mac for example then this might be a nice
option to have :)

[natenorberg]

That makes sense. Should I open a pull request for that?

[tommoor]

Sure, go ahead!
