This is almost solved!
Firstly, rescanning the previous file, the number of detections dropped to just
7/66 (including Microsoft and McAfee). But they're detecting it based on
learning from the previous false positive I think. Embedding an icon in a fresh
nightly copy of game.exe produces just 2/66 detections, from only obscure
scanners.
Looking at the rcedit issue tracker I discovered that this problem is caused by
rcedit not updating the .exe checksum, so I fixed rcedit to do so, solving the
problem! 0/66 detections.
However I compiled rcedit using Visual Studio 2019 using the "v141_xp"
toolchain which supposedly targets Windows XP. Unfortunately, [it doesn't
actually](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/visual-studio-1692-breaks-windows-xp-targeting/1383023),
the compiled rcedit.exe doesn't run on Win XP, even when statically linking
the C runtime. It looks like I would have to install a copy of VS 2015 together
with another toolchain and Windows SDK, what a nightmare.
Maybe I'll just write a 10-line FB function to compute and set the checksum
(which is far simpler than doing it using the winapi checksum function!) I
might need such a utility anyway for embedding data files in game/custom.exe.
