Reading List: Accept 16*16 icons for Reading List

Project Member Reported by olivierrobin@chromium.org, Feb 3 2017

Issue description

Current ReadingList view shows favicon if we have a favicon larger than 16x16 points.
This means we only show if we have a 32x32 favicon on most device.

Mobile web sites have often only 16x16 favicon.
This leads to have mostly fallback icons on the list.

The proposition is to show favicon even if we only have the 16x16 version, which is better than the fallback icon anyway.

My change would change the before.png screenshot to after.png screenshot

Note 1: Articles are from news.google.com which redirect to French version.
Note 2: all icons have a because the article currently distilled is ampproject.org
Note 3: "L'equipe de France2..." has only a bigger favicon (144x144) so it is not displayed...
Note 4: "Un depart de feu maitrise" has no favicon in the mobile website.

The "after" is definitely better. WDYT, Amy ?
Regarding "Note 3: "L'equipe de France2..." has only a bigger favicon (144x144) so it is not displayed..."

Can't we downscale to 32X32 ? 

As gambard pointed out, the mobile version of France 2 does not have any favicon, so my diagnosis on this particular entry was wrong.
I don't know how the color is generated. It would need more investigation.

I agree that the icon, even at poor resolution, is easier to scan than our fallback so I'm comfortable with the proposal! 

Any discoveries on Mardini's question on #7? 
I tested and my diagnosis was wrong. There is not icon for this article

[Reading List] Accept all favicon in Reading List view.

Current behavior is to accept favicons of size 16x16 * device scale factor.
Plenty of mobile sites have only 16x16 icons, and this means we have mostly
fallback icons.
Set the minimum size to 1 to accept any favicons.

Status: Fixed (was: Assigned)
Recent refactoring make cherry-picking not trivial (and not automated). As this is a not blocking issue, I think it is OK to not cherry-pick it.

Verified in 58.0.3019.0 canary, iPhone 6+ iOS 10.2, iPad mini 10.1
