IndieWeb Avatar

Feed this runtime service a URL and it will extract an avatar image using these sources:

1. <link rel="apple-touch-icon">
2. <link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed">
3. <link rel="icon">
4. favicon.ico
5. favicon.ico that isn’t an .ico file
6. First <img> in <header>

All rel lookups match against attribute values that are space separated lists.
