Provide new setting to allow site icon loading despite disabling automatic image loading in general.

• Component: WebKit API
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Alice Liu]

Turning off the WebCore setting for automatic image loading has the intentional side effect of disabling site icon (favicon) image loading.  It's possible that a WebView client may actually just want to turn off image loading in webpages but still want to load site icons so that the icondatabase gets populated.  I'd like to add an additional preference that is heeded only regarding the icondatabase.

These have not gone through API review, so these need to be in WebPreferencesPrivate.h

Looks like you added an extra space here.
