Configs for quicklinks

No issues was made previously but a discussion was done in a coding session.

📖 Description

Here's a sneak peek of the changes:

• Added a new service to connect to firebase cloud storage FirebaseStorageService.
• Change dependency of font awesome to a forked version that is configured to use dynamic matcher from font name (We will need to maintain the repo).
  • In case we want to bump the version of font awesome, simply sync source with our fork and merge the wanted version with our used branch ets-mobile. More details in wiki.
• Modify the QuicklinkRepository.getDefaultQuicklink(AppIntl)
  • Add a way to take icon from remote config json and render them as specified icon.
  • Add a way to handle using remote path for loading up custom icons.
  • icon and remotePath attributes are mutually exclusive which means one should be null if the other one is defined. In the case there is an error with the definition in remote config, icon will take precedence.
  • Custom icons loaded up from cloud storage are cached and url is only fetched when none is found in cache, this allows the fastest fetching possible for quicklinks­.

Drawback:
The main drawback of using a map to load up icons (which allows us to get them dynamically) is that there is no tree shaking for the unused resources. We would need to analyze if the app size is still acceptable. In the case it's not, we would need to do manual cleansing of some dynamically provided key from font awesome package as read here.

🧪 How Has This Been Tested?

Added a couple of test to extract default quicklinks from remote config and from cache and a test to getImageUrl from the newly created FirebaseStorageService.
