presets: replace emoji picker with categorized WhatsApp-style grid

Replaces the 60-emoji flat list with 8 standard Unicode categories
(Smileys, People, Animals, Food, Travel, Activities, Objects, Symbols),
each with 30–100 emojis. The picker now has a category tab bar at the top
(emoji icons, highlighted active tab) and a scrollable emoji grid below —
matching the layout used in WhatsApp and other messaging apps.
