Bug 1480319: Split favicon loading code out of ContentLinkHandler.jsm.

Details 
ContentLinkHandler contains a lot of code devoted to loading favicons, which is loaded in every content process, all the time.

While it will generally always be needed for any content process that hosts a top-level HTTP document, it generally shouldn't be needed for many about: pages, and should never be needed out-of-process iframes.

That code should all be split out into a separate module, and loaded only when we actually need to load a favicon.
(apparently I botched my commit and lost half of my changes the first time)

Bug 1480319: Split favicon loading code out of ContentLinkHandler.jsm.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/260910/#review268744

I'm not seeing where the event listeners for the page are added now, is there a file missing here?

Either way I want to see this rebased on top of the changes that just landed in bug 1478823

This is an extremely minor issue report, but I've noticed that Firefox 74.0 is -- unreliably, perhaps due to a race condition -- sometimes making requests for a favicon.ico at a base domain path (GET /favicon.ico) despite the page specifying alternate, specific rel="icon" paths.

The investigation I'd performed so far is visible at https://github.com/grocy/grocy/pull/692 and I tracked this back via the LinkHandlerChild call (at tag FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_74_END) to the commit associated with this bug ( https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/f53ecf8eee2a0d2a7705d7ea3ec8682028e922a0/browser/actors/LinkHandlerChild.jsm#l72 ).
