Minimize dependency on Font Awesome #223

Description

I'm trying to decrease load time of Webix + dependencies.

Looks like Font Awesome would be a good candidate for optimization. What Font Awesome icons are used implicitly by Webix? If the user explicitly makes use of FA icons, then they should load Font Awesome; but otherwise, FA might be unnecessary.

So far, the only case in which Webix uses FA characters that I know of is to indicate table column sort direction:

Font Awesome is a pretty large dependency just for these two up/down characters. Would it be possible to replace that special up/down character with a Unicode character that comes with a standard font?
