This actually seems ideal. I don't think it's desirable to share the favicon database with ephemeral web views because the favicon database will necessarily load remote web content, and a server could use the absence of a favicon load to determine whether the user has previously visited in non-ephemeral mode. It may be a small info leak, but I'd say the server is not supposed to be able to do that.

If you don't want to move it to WebKitWebsiteDataManager, then OK.
