Award Emoji API

Introduced in GitLab 8.9. Snippet support added in 8.12.

An awarded emoji tells a thousand words.

Emoji can be awarded on the following (known as "awardables"):

• Issues (API).
• Merge requests (API).
• Snippets (API).

Emoji can also be awarded on comments (also known as notes). See also Notes API.

Issues, merge requests, and snippets

See Award Emoji on Comments for information on using these endpoints with comments.
