Remove fa-icon from admin tabs for Admin 5 compatibility

Admin 5 no longer supports custom icons for admin tabs. The fa-icon property should be removed from the adminTab configuration in your adapter's io-package.json.

Update your adapter's io-package.json

If your adapter has an admin tab configuration with a fa-icon property, remove it:

  "adminTab": {
    "singleton": true,
    "name": {
      "en": "test-adapter",
      "de": "test-adapter"
    },
    "link": "",
-   "fa-icon": "info"
  }

Why this change is needed

As referenced in the ioBroker.admin issue comment, Admin 5 handles tab icons differently and adapters should no longer specify their own icons.

What happens if you don't update

Your adapter will continue to work, but the fa-icon property will be ignored by Admin 5. Removing it ensures your adapter configuration is clean and follows current best practices.
