[ Bitflash-sh/bitflash ] gui: name the icon resource GLFW_ICON so the window actually wears it (#126)
The right icon has been in the exe the whole time. GLFW never found it.
GLFW registers its own window class and fills hIcon with
LoadImageW(module, L"GLFW_ICON", ...), falling back to IDI_APPLICATION
when that exact resource name is missing. Ours was named "bitflash", so
the lookup failed and every window this program has opened wore the
generic Windows icon -- in the title bar and in the taskbar -- while the
correct artwork sat unused a few kilobytes away.
