Include emoji support?

Being able to respond with emojis would really help Shawk catch up to modern texting.

Using carpedm20's emoji available on pip should make this pretty easy, and inuitive to those used to typing similar emojis in applications like Slack.

Worth noting that a raw parameter should be added to support raw message contents. That is to say, raw messages would not be emojized.

Emojis have been giving me a world of trouble on multiple levels:

Inconsistent behavior from vtext.com
- GMail shows successfully sent unicode emojis, but vtext.com has sent a number of different textual combinations out
- I'm personally unable to view emojis sent via vtext.com, but other carriers have had some luck
Tests are useless unless live with regards to emojis

I'm going to consider removing this feature from shawk and maintain the project with a plain-text-only goal.
