In notifications and in chat we use the custom `discourse-emojis` icon to indica…te "any emoji", so we should do the same thing in reactions when "allow any reaction" is enabled. There were also some minor style regressions from the "modernized foundation" upcoming change, and I've hooked up a d-selected color and border-radius variable for more consistency.
