Give factorio.exe a modern high-DPI icon

[nemofication]

TL;DR

factorio.exe deserves a high-dpi icon

What?

Please update Factorio’s Windows icon resources so factorio.exe includes a modern high-DPI (Vista-style) ICO.
It will render sharply on Windows 11 Start/Desktop/Taskbar instead of the current classic low-res icon.

Here are 2 versions I made from the high-res icon in the press kit using redketchups ICO tool:

(note the ugly frame around the current Factorio icon, something only "classic" icons suffer from)

Why?

• Reinforces Factorios brand quality at essentially zero runtime cost and minimal dev effort.
• Removes the ick on Windows 11 where low-res icons look blurry next to modern apps.

Here is the .ico file in case anyone else wants a temporary fix. It includes all resolutions as recommended by Microsoft although only the resolutions that are smaller than the original 382x382 asset.
