Ok, I've found time today to work on this. I don't have time to re-
implement WebKitFaviconDatabase using a different database model, so
I've copied IconDatabase from WebCore to WebKit and used it directly
from WebKitFaviconDatabase. I've switched the client implementation to
API::IconLoadingClient too. So, I think you can just remove all the
WebCore and WebKit2 code after the patch lands.
