Add Backstage logo to the Open Graph Image metadata of backstage.io

See original GitHub issue

Feature Suggestion

When we share https://backstage.io over social media like Twitter, it is good that the card they generate for the link has useful information.

Screenshot 2020-08-20 at 21 50 05

Currently Twitter does not get any image to use for backstage.io

Possible Implementation

~Add an og:image metadata to the website and use the backstage logo. I think we already have og:title and og:description, but I might be wrong.~

Use png instead of svg here.

Context

Use https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator to validate results.

@OrkoHunter means all the .svg images will be converted to .png then we will update the microsite/siteConfig.js.

Open Graph protocol does not support SVG 😮 😮 😮

https://indieweb.org/The-Open-Graph-protocol#Does_not_support_SVG_images https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21636503/use-svg-as-ogimage

We’ll then have to set a png image to og:image and twitterImage. 💯
