Centerialized icon glyph config

[mochaaP]

e.g. https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad/blob/74e374ef7be0dac71c8c7d6a16b4cc1b0ebcb2e5/lua/plugins/configs/others.lua#L173-L177

display = {
  working_sym = "ﲊ",
  error_sym = "✗ ",
  done_sym = " ",
  removed_sym = " ",
  moved_sym = "",
}

local present, icons = pcall(require, "nvchad_ui.icons")

if present then
  -- [ assign icons from ui ]
else
  -- [ fallback icons ]
end

---

["NvChad/ui"] = {
  override_options = {
    icons = {
      -- ...
    },
  },
}

btw @mochaaP you can override packer config to change its icons

[siduck]

[" packer name "] = {
  overriden_options = {
  display = {
  working_sym = "ﲊ",
  error_sym = "✗ ",
  done_sym = " ",
  removed_sym = " ",
  moved_sym = "",
}
}

and i dont think its better to put all icons in one file, suppose the statusline only needs 4-5 icons and if the icon file is like 500 + LOC which would mean that it has many tables etc and loading it will add a lil overhead unlike loading 4-5 icons directly within the statusline config so closing this.

This is actually a workaround for kitty not handling some nerd font glyphs because they fall in the RTL character codepoints, so we let users choose their own icon set (in my instance, material design icons). This idea is actually from vim-devicons, but I think there's other approach to do this more elegantly.

@mochaaP just override those configs , which icon do you want to change? And i thought kitty handles nerdfonts well, even something bare like st does
