Exposes advanced methods in Icon component.

[SudoPlz]

Hi,

because of an advanced use-case in our app, we really need to be able to get glyphs manually, and pass them to a Text component on our own.

This PR exposes the raw glyph map.

[oblador]

Thanks! What's the use case?

[SudoPlz]

I'm using react-native and I'm implementing a concept that's called synchronous rendering

Here's more.

Here's a project that uses that : https://github.com/SudoPlz/react-native-synchronous-list

There are certain limitations synchronous rendering enforces, one of which is, there can't be any calculations that take place upon rendering, everything must be declarative (no if clauses - nothing), so I need to pass the text and the font family manually via props.

[SudoPlz]

@oblador any news with that?

The addition is pretty minor, and it's not messing with existing functionality, it just adds something, can you merge?

[oblador]

The sync rendering looks like cool stuff! Think we should document these methods it in the README maybe? Also include it in the TypeScript typings.

[SudoPlz]

Sure, I can create another commit, but right now I'm in Amsterdam. I'll do that as soon as I get home in a couple of days.

[SudoPlz]

I'm back.

Modified README.md and I edited the types:

DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#27444

[SudoPlz]

@oblador The typings PR needs this PR to be accepted before it get's accepted.
Are we also going to bump the version? Looks like it's needed.

[SudoPlz]

Awesome, thanks @oblador, can you also add a new version so that DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#27444 can be merged too?

[SudoPlz]

@oblador this PR above is going to get closed tomorrow, can you possibly publish a minor version in order to merge the typescript PR?

[oblador]

Hi, I'm waiting on some FontAwesome 5 fixes before I'm comfortable with releasing a new version. Seems like the auto closing bot has been fixed too. I'll ping the FA5 author to see if we can get this out soon.
