Migrate to null safety

[jibiel]

9cf4b48 fixes the majority of the analyzer warnings (mostly redundant const declarations).

0889610 migrates the package to null safety.

Notes:

• author pubspec.yml attribute is no longer supported.
• Major version bump is recommended by the official migration guide to indicate a breaking change.

Please consider this PR for release, because the package complicates migration to null safety for the apps that using it.

Fixes #41.
Fixes #45.
Fixes #46.

@jibiel would you be willing to take over maintenance on this repo with your fork? Renamed to flutter-vector-icons and added to pub.dev under that name of course.

@josephcrowell

Not sure I'm very motivated and interested to do so.

Since the PR was opened I've switched to a more modular vendor packages — cupertino_icons and ionicons. And I think this may be a more correct approach. Ideally, it should be one set. But often there are some required icons missing, of course.

Don't know how this all will compile in the final build yet, but the package takes 16MB unpacked and knowing that you include dozen of fonts and thousands of icons in the app and using only 1-5% of them is kinda strange.

You are free to use the code from my fork however you see fit, though.

I pushed out a fork which includes all missing icons including Fontisto fonts and jibiel's fixes for null safety support: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_font_icons

Thanks, I thought of doing so. We'll keep using flutter_font_icons and do make someone like me as contributer, so that we can keep that alive
