  Description     : icon font used by Visual Studio Code

This is the publishing channel for the Visual Studio Code icon font: the
microsoft/vscode-codicons repository is released to npm as @vscode/codicons,
and VS Code's "gulp copy-codicons" step copies dist/codicon.ttf into
src/vs/base/browser/ui/codicons/codicon/, from where it is shipped as part
of monaco-editor-core.  The .ttf is not in VS Code's git tree.  The font is
the only thing from this package that monaco needs - the CSS and the
generated codiconsLibrary.ts already live in the VS Code tree.

The binary package installs a single file,
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/codicons/codicon.ttf (150 KB).  It is named
fonts-codicons rather than node-vscode-codicons because lintian requires
fonts to live in a dedicated fonts-* package and under /usr/share/fonts/
(font-in-non-font-package, font-outside-font-dir); fonts-font-awesome is the
precedent.  The copyright file will carry two stanzas, CC-BY-4.0 for the
icons and the font and MIT for the build scripts.

The font is rebuilt from the 655 SVG icon sources shipped in the source
package, using python3-fonttools and python3-yaml, following the
fonts-font-awesome recipe - upstream's own toolchain is fantasticon, which is
not in Debian.  The rebuilt font matches upstream on all 655 code points, on
the metrics (UPM 300, ascent 300, descent 0) and on the advance widths; glyph
outlines differ by at most 9 units (3% of the UPM), so it is not
byte-identical.  That will be documented in debian/README.source.

Two version notes: snapshots older than 0.0.46-40 are missing 9 glyphs, so
consumers will carry a lower bound in their Build-Depends; and code points
are only ever added, never removed, so a newer snapshot than the one VS Code
pins is safe.

I need it as a build-dependency of node-monaco-editor-core, which I am
packaging (monaco-editor 0.57.0).

Thanks,
Emfox
