    fix favicon in the chaotic world of mobile devices · 47d23273

    Turns out that Microsoft Windows, Chrome OS, Safari and others all
    have their own little precious way of using the traditionnal favicon,
    which are all pretty much incompatible with each other. Fixing this
    requires regenerating not one, but *seven* different images, and *two*
    metadata files that are somehow magically read by different
    browsers/environments.
    
    This is a shame and an embarrassment, but I prefer to have pretty
    icons for users than try to fight such a useless battle.
    
    This requires changes to the theme as well, which should hopefully
    happen at the same time as this change.
