We could serve a different icon per protocol on
bits.wikimedia.org/..../icon_current_protocol.png :D

Just kidding, alternatively we could add a class to <html> in
mediawiki.page.startup and use that in CSS for .mw-https > [href ^="//"];
Although that is cache friendly and not WMF specific and also works for
dynamically  inserted links, it does mess with cascading system a little bit
(in that overriding this with a different icon from somewhere else becomes less
trivial and might break existing rules).
