Message:

Toolbar: Remove the light background behind the Admin Bar site icon.

The site icon in the admin bar was given a #f0f0f1 background to match the
my-account (user avatar) node. Unlike avatars, which are always opaque, site
icons are frequently transparent PNGs with a non-square shape, and the light
square showed through them against the dark admin bar, breaking the icon's
intended silhouette.

Removing the background lets transparent icons blend into the toolbar. Opaque
icons are unaffected, and icons that lack contrast against the admin bar are
considered the site owner's responsibility, consistent with how a favicon must
already work against varying browser chrome.
