Ship a favicon by default?

[ottok]

Currently WordPress itself nor the project template serves anything to /favicon.ico requests. This leads to some warnings and errors on sites by default:

This is not a big issue, but many like to run gtmetrix, webpagetest.org, pingdom tools etc and because of this, they will get some negative results by default without always realizing why. To prevent that, the project template could ship a simple default tile as htdocs/favicon.ico.

Comments?

Should we maybe add a WordPress favicon to the project by default to avoid these errors?

Or if we update the default theme to a newer one, would that contain a favicon by itself?
