Amazing Icons 2.0.0 - Performance Revolution 🚀

We're excited to announce Amazing Icons 2.0.0, a major release focused on performance optimization and modern rendering techniques!

🎯 What's New

⚡ 10x Performance Boost for Bulk & TwoTone Icons

Bulk and TwoTone icons now use icon fonts instead of SVG, delivering:

• 10x faster rendering - instant display with no parsing overhead
• Lower memory usage - native icon rendering by Flutter
• Smaller app size - compact font files instead of thousands of SVG assets
• Smooth animations - no lag when displaying multiple icons

🎨 New Customizable Opacity Control

Fine-tune the depth effect of Bulk and TwoTone icons:

// Subtle effect
AmazingIconBulk.home(size: 24, color: Colors.blue, opacity: 0.2)

// Default effect
AmazingIconBulk.home(size: 24, color: Colors.blue, opacity: 0.4)

// Strong effect
AmazingIconBulk.home(size: 24, color: Colors.blue, opacity: 0.6)

🏳️ Enhanced Country Flags with Shape Options

Country flags now support 3 shape styles:

// Circular flags
AmazingIconCountry.fromCountryCode(countryCode: "fr", size: 30, shape: IconShape.circle)

// Rounded corners (default)
AmazingIconCountry.fromCountryCode(countryCode: "us", size: 30, shape: IconShape.rounded)

// Sharp corners
AmazingIconCountry.fromCountryCode(countryCode: "jp", size: 30, shape: IconShape.sharp)

💳 Optimized Payment Icons

Payment icons migrated to jovial_svg with .si format for:

• Faster loading times
