Implement MBS-13804

Problem

Reviews are shown on the sidebar of entities as whatever matches their URL, which can be very confusing. For example, a YouTube video review on the sidebar of a release group will say "Play on YouTube", but clearly it's not a link to play the RG.

Solution

Similarly as with blog and homepage, this shows all review rels as such regardless of what the URL is, rather than showing the default for the URL. The second commit fixes the order we look for favicons also on the edit pages.

I updated the source for our Gentleface Mono Icon Set icons since gentleface.com itself seems gone.

Testing

Manually, using the RG from the ticket, release-group/a2105081-b86f-4b56-a9cc-ddda4835b975, with full server data.

@Aerozol, please see if the chosen icon makes sense for you, and if it seems to close to the blog one (@yvanzo suggested maybe the blog icon is not a great fit and should be changed).

Cool change! Hmm, tricky, that icon set is a bit inconsistent. The very heavy black speech bubble does look a bit out of place.

Ignoring what we currently have, just looking at that icon set, I think I would suggest:

It of course doesn't have to be that icon set - if you want to design some MeB icons for that, or find some other free use ones, that's more than ok :) I kind of agree that the current blog one is a good fit for review, just not sure if it would confuse users too much to switch it.

We discussed on IRC and agreed the change is probably minor enough, so I made it now.

The previous blog icon will be reused for review links in following commits.

I updated the source for our Gentleface Mono Icon Set icons since
gentleface.com itself seems gone.
Similarly as with blog and homepage, this shows all review rels
as such regardless of what the URL is, rather than showing, say, YouTube
links as "Play on YouTube".
On the sidebar, we only show the default per-site icon if none of the
special icons apply. On the editing page, we were doing the other way
around. Consolidating it seems sensible and if so we should do
the special icons first, since overriding per-page ones is part
of their whole point.
While I'm not sure if this is faster than three nested .some calls,
it shouldn't be a lot slower and I'd say it makes the code at least somewhat
more clear.

This does no longer prioritize blog over review, but that probably doesn't
matter since I'm not sure those can exist at the same time for the same
entity type and even if they could, something being a blog and review
for the same entity at the same time would just be bad data, so it's irrelevant
which icon it shows.
These names are just "blog" and "review".
