fix(prefs): persist favicon choice and apply to HTML results

- Save favicon cookie on POST /preferences; reflect selection in template
- Add getFaviconService helper; pass favicon service into FromResponse
- Compute ResultView.FaviconIconURL (none/google/duckduckgo/self proxy)
- Update result_item and video_item templates; add httpapi/views tests
