Use favicons for remotes #481

Currently, remote icons are hard-coded with explicit exceptions for GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket. Instead, the site's favicon could be displayed.

Do an http HEAD request for the site's root path
Look for <link rel="icon"> or other variant
If not found, try /favicon.ico
Cache the images and refresh periodically
