Increase contrast of favicon in dark mode

See original GitHub issue

The favicon on GH is almost invisible if you have a browser in dark-mode. Now that you can detect the theme of the browser with prefers-color-scheme we could make the favicon more visible on dark theme browsers.

Using prefers-color-scheme: dark makes sense. If it’s false, leave untouched; if it’s true, it’s supported by the browser and that’s what we want.
