Add Chromecast icon for Things dashboard #2

Not sure if there's even an API endpoint for this yet, but it would be nice for Chromecast devices to show up with the characteristic icon (outlined/filled depending on state) instead of the default on/off icon in the Things dashboard without having to upload a custom icon.

Sadly that's not something an adapter (or webthing) can do. Presentation is entirely decided by the gateway.

See https://github.com/mozilla-iot/gateway/issues/861

Thanks for pointing me to this. It's been hard as a newcomer to Things Gateway programming to find information.

I can recommend two primary sources of information on what is possible:
