This new setting type will use an IconPicker component instead of requiring the… admin to type in a FontAwesome icon name. This will make it easier for admins to select icons and reduce errors from typos. The `discourse_reactions_like_icon` setting in reactions will be the first to use this. <img width="911" height="411" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2bbadfe6-8318-4e09-b05e-00de6b7e266f" />
