Message:

Bootstrap/Load: Make handling the /favicon.ico requests more flexible.

Previously, wp_favicon_request() was introduced in [13205] to avoid a performance hit of serving a full 404 page on every favicon request.

While working as intended, that implementation did not provide a way for theme or plugin authors to manage the behavior of favicon requests.

This changeset implements the following logic (only applied if WordPress is installed in the root directory):

• If there is a Site Icon set in Customizer, redirect /favicon.ico requests to that icon.
• Otherwise, use the WordPress logo as a default icon.
• If a physical /favicon.ico file exists, do nothing, let the server handle the request.

Handling /favicon.ico is now more consistent with handling /robots.txt requests.

New functions and hooks:

• Introduce is_favicon() conditional tag to complement is_robots().
• Introduce do_favicon action to complement do_robots and use it in template loader.
• Introduce do_favicon() function, hooked to the above action by default, to complement do_robots().
• Introduce do_faviconico action to complement do_robotstxt, for plugins to override the default behavior.
• Mark wp_favicon_request() as deprecated in favor of do_favicon().

Fixes #47398.
