[FEATURE REQUEST] Generate `favicon.ico` for web #540

:speech_balloon: Description

For Web target currently favicon.png is generated among other icons. While PNG is a great format for all the remaining icons, it would be nice if the default "favicon.ico" icon was .ico rather than .png (alternatively, the favicon.ico variant could be present in addition to the favicon.png for cases when browsers try to use the .ico one). The missing favicon.ico causes some 404s.

:question: Platform

Web

My current solution (without the requested feature) is to place manually generated favicon.ico next to the automatically generated favicon.png and keep them both.
