## Description

Standard emoji paths aren’t converted to CDN URLs, while admin emoji paths are properly converted.

## Evidence

Standard controller (no CDN conversion):

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/1d7c1eca27e1f3063374162e7765fbed5442ffe5/app/controllers/emojis_controller.rb#L5>

Admin controller (correct conversion using EmojiSerializer):

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/1d7c1eca27e1f3063374162e7765fbed5442ffe5/app/controllers/admin/emoji_controller.rb#L5>

Standard emoji paths should be converted to CDN URLs like admin emoji paths.
