Retrieve icon automatically for favorite links
- a new button to retrieve the web site icon (favicon) and assign it to the added or edited favorite (replacing the existing icon if it has one)
- website icon images are saved in the folder "icons" under the QAP working directory (it is created the first time if it did not exist)
- when adding or editing a favorite of type "Link", rename the button "Get title" to "Get title and icon" and retrieve both- retrieve website icon and webpage title using asynchronous HTTP requests with a timeout after 10 seconds (each) avoiding hanging QAP if the website does not respond
