For some sites, domain.tdl/favicon.ico does not resolve. The result is that we create an svg:image that fails to load.

Could try looking at some other URLs to find a favicon, or we could detect the failure of the image to load and draw something else in its place.

Currently using a hack where we draw a circle and then draw favicon over it, so if the favicon doesn't load the circle is still visible. But it's not great.
