Move favicon.ico <link> to accommodate Chrome (#4891)

Chrome requests `favicon.ico` on every route change, but stops if the `<link>` for it occurs early enough in the page. [Several](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35409588/favicon-requested-on-every-route-change) other [people](ctrlplusb/react-universally#145) have been running into this issue since at least February 2016.
