  [GTK][WPE] IconDatabase should use current timestamp when inserting new icons
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322572

Reviewed by Carlos Garcia Campos.

Use the current Unix epoch as timestamp when adding a new item in
IconDatabase::addIcon(). Another option that was considered was changing
the database schema to include "default (unixepoch())" in the timestamp
column; but it was discarded to avoid changing the schema version.

Prior to the fix, using zero as timestamp when adding a new page icon in
IconDatabase::addIcon() made it always look as if it were immediately
expired:

- IconDatabase::iconIDForIconURL() would flag icons as expired,
  resulting in them being re-downloaded.

- IconDatabase::pruneTimerFired() would remove icons from the database
  if their timestamp has not been touched, making icons prone to be
  removed before they have a chance to be used if the timer kicks in
  before their first use.

Unfortunately writing a proper test for this would be tricky it would
need access to the IconDatabase internals, and testing would be slow
because it would need a 10s pause for every test case.
