[Icon Request]: Unlicense #2555

The same one already associated with the license files, or whatever is more suitable.

Additional context

This is not a request for a new icon, but for associating an icon with a set of files.

The Unlicense is one of several existing licenses. To apply it, the website choosealicense.com, for example, suggests naming the license file as UNLICENSE or UNLICENSE.txt, unlike the names recognized as licenses by this extension.

In fact, the official website itself recommends the same:

You would traditionally put the above statement into a file named COPYING or LICENSE. However, […] we recommend that you put your unlicensing statement in a file named UNLICENSE.

I know that there is a way to simply configure this association, but, given these arguments, it would be quite plausible if these files — and any other variants that may exist — were already associated by default with the license file icon.
