Cache app icons locally and convert them to PNG #2

Right now, app icons are hotlinked in the generated website to whatever URL the developer has put in their Chum metadata description.

This, however, has some downsides:

Many linked app icons seem to be of .svg format, which is great for scalability, but sadly this does not work well in link previews based on the OpenGraph tags or the prototype Telegram bot I was playing around with.
The web browser continuously has to connect to different URLs to fetch the icons. (Although I suspect most of them are hosted on GitHub)

However, this introduces some drawbacks:

Generating the website will take longer
- Although I can look into caching the icons using the caching feature of GitHub actions
