Include a link to official PSF Mastodon account in the Python.org socialize menu

[mlcohen]

The socialize menu on python.org has prominent links to the Python Software Foundation's (PSF) Facebook, Twitter and IRC official social accounts. Recommend updating the menu to include a link to the official PSF Mastodon account.

The Mastodon PSF account has well over 9,000 followers. For those who would like to get PSF updates via social media but not follow on Twitter/X and/or Facebook, Mastodon is a great alternative. Without a prominent link to the Mastodon account on python.org, many may not even know that Mastodon was ever an option.

Here's where to add it (before Twitter ;)

pythondotorg/templates/base.html

Lines 236 to 241 in c4ee749

	<a href="#" class="action-trigger">Socialize</a>
	<ul class="subnav menu">
	<li class="tier-2 element-1" role="treeitem"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pythonlang?fref=ts"><span aria-hidden="true" class="icon-facebook"></span>Facebook</a></li>
	<li class="tier-2 element-2" role="treeitem"><a href="https://twitter.com/ThePSF"><span aria-hidden="true" class="icon-twitter"></span>Twitter</a></li>
	<li class="tier-2 element-3" role="treeitem"><a href="/community/irc/"><span aria-hidden="true" class="icon-freenode"></span>Chat on IRC</a></li>
	</ul>

But I'm less clear how to update the styles/custom font to add the icon via class="icon-mastodon".

I took a crack at it using IcoMoon. Was able to get a Mastodon icon added and generate a collection of fonts. Now working on updating the CSS.

Can confirm that the python.org website now has a prominently placed link to the official Python Software Foundation Mastodon account.
