Fix Font Awesome

This is a Babel plugin aimed at transforming imports from Font Awesome to reduce React Native bundle sizes

This:

import { faBadgeCheck } from '@fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons';
import { faCheck, faCalendar as proCalendarIcon } from '@fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons';

Becomes this:

import { faBadgeCheck } from '@fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons/faBadgeCheck';
import { faCheck } from '@fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons/faCheck';
import { faCalendar as proCalendarIcon } from '@fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons/faCalendar';
