Update favicons to 7.0.0

[andy128k]

There is an intention to release favicons 7.0.0 soon. This PR is created to ensure that the upcoming release doesn't break downstream too much.

thanks for the pr @andy128k, i'm using your fork without any issues

would be great to get this released as a beta 👍

just had to change the peerDependencies to allow for the beta

  "peerDependencies": {
    "webpack": "^5.0.0",
    "favicons": ">= 6.2.0 || ^7.0.0-beta.1"
  },

Hey. Are there any chances this PR will be merged? ❤️

The latest favicons use manifest.webmanifest, instead of manifest.json, resulting in manifest option of favicons-webpack-plugin being ignored.

As a temporary workaround one can do this under favicons option:

                files: {
                    android: {
                        manifestFileName: "manifest.json",
                    },
                },

IMO a more proper fix for this should also be included in this PR?

Not to pile on, but we need favicons upgraded >= 7.0.0.

The older favicons version (^6) currently being referenced has security vulnerabilities.

I see that a PR to fix this issue has been merged. Do we know when the next release will be, though?
