LATER EDIT: ignore the request but see the comments below

In case the favicon download fails due to anti-bot/anti-crawler techniques (most likely HTTP code 403 or even 444) fallback to Google icon cache which is almost sure to have the favicon cached.

While it may seem a bad idea to hardcode links like this, an increasingly amount of sites started using such techniques, especially aggressive Cloudflare-protected sites, causing Vaultwarden to fail in fetching favicons

P.S.: For this pull request to work, https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/pull/6880 also needs to be accepted/merged
