honzupandLinus Rath 334fdbfb86 feat: show unread count badge on favicon
Closes #560.

Composes the active inbox's unread count over the base favicon as an SVG
badge, served as a percent-encoded data: URL, so new mail is visible on a
tab that is not focused — including when the browser collapses tabs to
icon-only, where a title-based count disappears entirely.

The base icon is read from the rendered <link rel="icon"> rather than from
config, so admin and per-domain branding overrides are inherited for free:
the count is drawn on whatever logo the deployment actually serves. Keeping
the badge in SVG rather than rasterising to a canvas also means the browser
can rasterise it at whatever size it asks for, so a HiDPI tab is not served a
16px bitmap.

Notes on the approach:

- The badge link is an *additional* icon link that we append and mark as
  ours; we never remove or mutate a link we did not create. Next's metadata
  icons are rendered by React, which keeps a fiber pointing at that DOM node,
  so removing it would leave React holding a detached node and throw
  "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'removeChild')" on the next
  commit that deletes the fiber. Appending instead means the last-declared
  icon wins, and non-SVG fallback links survive with their type/sizes intact.
  (The usual recipe for this feature — assign canvas.toDataURL() to the
  existing link's href — does both of the things that break here.)

- Every change of state is an *insertion* of a fresh link of ours, never a
  mutation or a removal, because that is the only signal a browser reliably
  re-reads the favicon on. Firefox ignores an in-place href change, and it
  equally ignores a removal — so clearing the badge by deleting our link left
  a stale count painted on the tab until a hard reload. Clearing it instead
  inserts a new link of ours carrying the original base href.

- Holding last place has to be defended: on a client-side navigation React
  re-hoists its metadata icon link into <head>, landing after ours, and the
  base icon silently wins again. A MutationObserver on <head> moves our own
  link back to the end whenever a foreign icon link appears — moving only our
  node, never anyone else's. It no-ops once ours is last again, so a move
  cannot feed itself.

- The badge is a full-width band across the foot of the icon, drawn to the
  metrics measured from Gmail's own 16px favicon: band height 0.625 of the
  icon, digit cap height 0.44, flush to the edges, corners rounded by about a
  pixel. Full width is what keeps a three-glyph label legible — rounded ends
  waste exactly the horizontal space it needs. Neutral white with black digits
  rather than the conventional red: faviconUrl is admin-overridable and
  Bulwark's own icon is rgb(219,45,84), so a red badge sat red-on-red.

- The base SVG may be admin-uploaded, and the branding route deliberately
  serves it under a sandboxing CSP because SVG can carry script. Re-emitting
  it as a same-origin data: URL would un-fence that, so script, foreignObject
  and every on* handler are stripped before serialising.

- Mounted in the root layout, not on the mail route: the badge belongs to the
  tab, so mounting it on the page would clear it on every hop to settings,
  calendar or contacts.
