Bug: Global Variable Collision

[eoussama]

Bug description

When using this package with vite.js, defining any key/value in vite's configuration can result in collisions that always result in build errors later on.

Take this configuration for example:

export default defineConfig({
  base: '/',
  plugins: [],
  define: {
    config: {
      version: '0.3.0'
    }
  }
})

There already exists a global variable named config used internally, for instance, in fontawesome-svg-core/index.mjs we have:

var library = new Library();
var noAuto = function noAuto() {
  config.autoReplaceSvg = false;
  config.observeMutations = false;
  callHooks('noAuto');
};

This will result in the following error during the build stage as vite overrides config's value:

Unexpected token (Note that you need plugins to import files that are not JavaScript)
file: /home/eoussama/projects/playback-sync/node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core/index.mjs:1274:12
1272: var library = new Library();
1273: var noAuto = function noAuto() {
1274:   config.autoReplaceSvg = false;
                  ^
1275:   config.observeMutations = false;
1276:   callHooks('noAuto');
error during build:
