Here's the first patchset to update the icons in the footer.

0001 patch is primarily the boiler plate to upgrade font awesome to get
the newer icons.

0002 removes the images and swaps them out with the icons, which removes
the problem we're having with light/dark mode. This also allows us to
add in more icons, i.e. Bluesky, which we now have an account with the
@postgresql.org domain.

Later, I'll have a 3rd patch that adds to the contact page the social
links (We already have X/Twitter on that one).

Thanks,

Jonathan
