Description

It would be nice if Kuma could attempt to pull the favicon of service added and then show that together with the title.

This could possibly be an additional setting when adding a new moitoring "pull favicon" or even extended to allow upload of icons.

Research direction
Investigate existing npm packages for favicon fetching (e.g., 'favicon' or 'get website favicon'). Explore the service creation flow in the frontend (e.g., 'src/pages/AddMonitor.vue') and the monitoring display components (e.g., 'src/components/MonitorList.vue'). Implement a backend endpoint or use a proxy to fetch favicons, and store the icon URL alongside service data. Ensure handling of various favicon formats (ico, png, svg) and provide an option to manually upload an icon.
