Add a favicon and rework the Design page

Blogs had no icon at all, and browsers probing /favicon.ico ended up
rendering the 404 page. Ship a default paper & ink icon (svg + png) and
let each blog replace it from the Design page; /favicon.ico now serves
the default or redirects to the blog's own image. ICO uploads accepted.

The Design page gains colour schemes, reset to defaults, thumbnail
image pickers, jump links and a sticky save bar, plus new options:
heading font, link underline/hover, content box style and padding,
header image height, post dates and format, footer RSS toggle, menu
alignment/style/hover and sidebar width. The Menu card picks the
position with illustrated tiles and shows only the options that apply
to it, using CSS :checked rules rather than JavaScript.

All new defaults reproduce the previous look, so existing blogs are
unchanged until edited. Theme is jsonb, so no migration.
