Title: Added link tag to favicon

Added the link tag to the favicon.ico

This tells the browser to look for the favicon.ico in the same folder as index.html rather than the root of the server.

If Kibana is found at
http://example.com/kibana/index.html
it looks for the favicon.ico here
http://example.com/kibana/favicon.ico
instead of here:
http://example.com/favicon.ico
