Set _NET_WM_ICON to favicon of active tab of window

Reported by ivanmali...@gmail.com, Feb 6 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.24 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
This is more of a feature request.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
I'd like to make it so that chrome sets the _NET_WM_ICON property to the favicon of the active tab if one is available.

Did this work before? N/A

khmel@chromium.org was able to help with something related to _NET_WM_ICON before. I would be happy to do the work to make this happen, but I thought that I would file this issue to try to find out of such a change would be accepted.

I think we would get a lot of complaints if we were to do this.  AFAIK, no other browser does this, including ones on other platforms.

That isn't true, conkeror web browser used to do this. Also, why not simply add an option somewhere to do this for those who want it? It would be disabled by default and most users would never even know about it.
