[FEATURE] Fav icon scalablity across devices

[rudrasingh993]

Description:
Currently, the website has a basic favicon setup with only a single PNG file (favicon.png) that lacks comprehensive cross-platform support. This limits the user experience across different devices, browsers, and platforms.

🔍 Current State:
❌ Single favicon.png file exists in /public directory
❌ Basic favicon link in layout.tsx
❌ Apple touch icon reference
❌ No multiple icon sizes for different use cases
❌ No ICO format for maximum browser compatibility
❌ No PWA manifest for app-like experience
❌ No Windows tiles support
❌ No optimized mobile experience
🎯 Expected Outcome:
Implement a comprehensive favicon system that provides:

Multiple icon sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 96x96, 192x192, 512x512)
ICO format for older browser compatibility
Enhanced Apple touch icons for iOS devices
Windows tiles support for Windows Start Menu
PWA manifest for app-like experience
Better mobile optimization
�� Acceptance Criteria:
Icon Files Required:

favicon.ico (16x16, 32x32, 48x48 combined)

favicon-32x32.png

Configuration Files:

site.webmanifest for PWA support

browserconfig.xml for Windows tiles
Code Updates:

Update app/layout.tsx with comprehensive favicon links

Add proper MIME types and sizes attributes

Include Windows tiles meta tags

Add PWA manifest link

Include mobile optimization meta tags
��️ Implementation Steps:
Generate Icon Sizes:

Use RealFaviconGenerator or Favicon.io
Upload existing favicon.png and generate all required sizes
Create Configuration Files:

Generate site.webmanifest with proper PWA configuration
Create browserconfig.xml for Windows tiles
Update Layout:

Replace current favicon links with comprehensive implementation
Add all required meta tags for cross-platform support
Test Across Platforms:

Browser tabs (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
Mobile devices (iOS, Android)
Windows Start Menu
Bookmarks and favorites
🎨 Design Considerations:
Ensure favicon is recognizable at 16x16px
Use high contrast colors for visibility
Test on both light and dark backgrounds
Maintain brand consistency across all sizes
📱 Platforms to Test:

Desktop browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Android Chrome)

Windows Start Menu

iOS home screen (when added to home screen)

Android home screen

PWA installation
