A Markdown extension that looks for things like :fa-coffee: and replaces them with the Font Awesome icon markup.

Add 'fontawesome_markdown' to your Markdown call and watch the magic unfold:

>>> from markdown import Markdown

>>> markdown = Markdown(extensions=['fontawesome_markdown']
>>> markdown.convert('i ♥ :fa-coffee:')
<p>i ♥ <i class="fa fa-coffee"></i></p>

>>> markdown.convert('i ♥ :far fa-fontawesome: fa-x3')
<p>i ♥ <i class="far fa-coffee fa-x3"></i></p>

Don't forget to make the Font Awesome v5.2 assets available to your DOM, and you're done!
