Dark mode app icon #3164

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Apparently iOS18 supports dark mode icons. It autogens these when it can, but EX's icon is too complex for it. Therefore we should probably provide our own.

Describe the solution you'd like

On the left you see an autogenned dark-mode classic Element icon. But on the right, there is no dark-mode icon.

Just adding context, ios 18 also allows coloring them to a theme, and based on how it treats that, I suspect its the gradient. i think if the background gradient was flattened it would be able to generate one on the fly.

I would love if we were able to change the Element X icon to the one that the old Element app has as well, similar to how you can change the icon in the GitHub app. This would require a bit of extra work though.
