Summary Remove dead WKIconDatabase C API, WebIconDatabase, and APIIconDatabaseClient

Every WKIconDatabase (and WKIconDatabaseCG) function is a no-op or returns nullptr. The backing WebIconDatabase class has an empty body and is never constructed. APIIconDatabaseClient has no subclasses. WKContextGetIconDatabase and WKContextSetIconDatabasePath are no-ops; WebKitTestRunner was their only caller. Delete it all. The WebKitLegacy WebIconDatabase in Source/WebKitLegacy/mac/Misc/ and the GTK/WPE WebKitFaviconDatabase glib API are unrelated and untouched.
