Using a placeholder for FontAwesome links in descriptions of settings

I thought it might make sense to bump this topic because of DEV: upgrade to fontawesome 7 by tyb-talks · Pull Request #36286 · discourse/discourse · GitHub being merged.

Lots of descriptions of settings of theme components and plugins will need an update again now. So, while for most components it’s mainly about updating the description of the svg_icons setting to mention version 7 instead of 6, it might be helpful to think about having a more permanent solution based on parameters so translators don’t have to translate everything again on each version update.

Adding an example here that contains both: The link and the version number
