Moved newsletter Ghost orb to Shade

[9larsons]

What changed

• Switched the newsletter preview GhostOrb import from admin-x-design-system to @tryghost/shade/components.
• Removed the now-unused admin-x-design-system GhostOrb export.
• Deleted the duplicate legacy SVG asset.

Why

Shade already owns a byte-for-byte identical Ghost orb SVG. Using the Shade export removes the final consumer and shrinks the legacy design-system surface without changing markup, styling, or runtime behavior.

Validation

• Independent agent review: no findings
• Legacy and Shade SVGs confirmed byte-for-byte identical
• admin-x-settings: 203 unit tests passed
• admin-x-design-system: 23 unit tests passed
• Full lint and TypeScript checks for both packages
• admin-x-design-system and Shade production builds
• git diff --check

Manual testing

• Open Settings → Email newsletters and edit a newsletter.
• Enable Show badge in the newsletter design preview.
• Confirm the 16px Ghost orb and “Powered by Ghost” render unchanged.
• Toggle the badge off and on.
• Ideally verify the orb inherits the expected footer color in both light and dark configurations.

Walkthrough

Removed the GhostOrb export from the admin design-system barrel. Updated the newsletter preview component to import GhostOrb from @tryghost/shade/components while continuing to import Icon from @tryghost/admin-x-design-system.
