Add Matrix Public Archive specific favicon

The easy way out

Just use the normal Matrix.org favicon

Some ideas

Is there something we can do with a 3D box and the "M" shape in it (for Matrix)? Here is the Codepen logo with the "M" drawn on to see what I'm referring to with the concept:

This is a cool icon: https://icons.getbootstrap.com/icons/collection/ (might not translate to a favicon)

It's a cleaned up version of what [Matrix.org](https://matrix.org/) is using since that one is [so blurry](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/558581/201302097-411b8033-4281-4cd3-a069-0c97ba3aa01f.png).

As a note, we've completed the easy step improvement here using the Matrix.org favicon (but improved and SVG). This was done via #135

@pdurbin Looks like Gmail to me 😁 (has just the right stretch to be uncanny). And it would be kinda nice if it was the same "m" from the Matrix logo so there is some association recognition.

Hmm, I don't think the "m" from the Matrix logo maps onto a box so well. Oh well, I tried. 😄

 - Default to a nice `[matrix]` banner
    -  There is room for improvement here when the Matrix Public Archive gets it's own logo (#94) and maybe says "Matrix Public Archive" somewhere in the banner.
    - This is good enough for now (and certainly better than downstream previews using the first image on the page).
 - For rooms, it will use the room avatar

Part of #202

Image is sized to 1200x630 to match conventions of `og:image`.

Crafted the banner image by modifying the header on the room directory homepage and taking a node screenshot. Page zoom @ 175%
