Replace the "Ask a question" logo in the GitLab Duo Chat sidebar, with one of the Duo Marketing assets

Problem to solve

The speach bubble icon for the GitLab Duo Chat sidebar is plain and also distracting on a dark VSCode theme, or the Web IDE

Proposal

Use one of the existing Duo marketing assets in its place

For example:

(this is clearly a simple edit by an unskilled person. A bit of care from a UI designer and graphic artist would make it look a lot better, by removing the rectangle background for a start).

The actual asset to use should be discussed in this issue, above is meant to illustrate only. For instance, using the same icon as that which appears in the editor gutter for Code Suggestions would also be good, as would adopting the purple color rather than white, for brand / identification.

Further details

This would contribute a small life improvement. Also it just looks better, and more engaging, and it should be a fairly simple change.
