Improved favicon detection for metadata_icon

Improved `metadata_icon` to check common favicon link variants more reliably.

We fixed an issue where fallback favicon selectors were not tried if link[rel="icon"] was missing.

Now, when metadata_icon=true, ScreenshotOne checks these selectors in order:

  • link[rel="icon"]
  • link[rel="shortcut icon"]
  • link[rel="icon shortcut"]

This improves favicon extraction reliability for websites that use different rel conventions.

Use it as usual:
