Hey guys!

First important things, first... :)
Let's talk about Emoji metadata!

So, gtk3 and gtk4 will support translated emoji metadata (from unicode
CLDR [0]) so that one will be able to find in their language the right
emoji when using `Ctrl+.` emoji chooser.
Now, for this to happen localized gresource files generated from the
emojibase [1] must be in /usr/share/gtk-{3,4}/emoji/ [2].

As per this: how do we ship them?
I think that ideally this would be included in each
`language-pack-gnome-<LANG>` package, but how can we manage this?

Generating the files is easy and having a process that automatizes it
isn't complicated, but I would like how this can be handled.

Cheers
