fix(emoji): flags render on Windows; "Twitter emoji" works again

Windows' emoji font has no flag glyphs, so 🇺🇸 (:flag_us:) showed as the
letters "US". Two fixes:

- A TwemojiFlags @font-face over the bundled Twemoji file, limited by
  unicode-range to the regional-indicator letters (U+1F1E6–1F1FF), is put in
  the font stack on Windows only. Every other emoji stays native, other
  platforms keep their own flags, and the file is fetched only when a flag is
  on screen.
- The Appearance font setting overwrote --font-secondary with a stack that
  had no emoji families at all, so neither this nor the existing "Twitter
  emoji" switch reached message text. The font map now keeps
  var(--font-flags), var(--font-emoji) before the generic family.

Verified in Chromium via CDP platform fonts: with a Windows user agent 🇺🇸 is
drawn by "Twemoji Mozilla" while 😀 stays on the system emoji font; with a
Linux user agent both stay native.
