patch to disable icons database (apply post-4.3)

Determining the root cause of this has proven to be quite difficult.
Even compiling WebKitGTK from source with instrumentation did not help
because its characteristics did not match the WebKitGTK that's shipped
with Ubuntu.

Anyways, one thing I was able to determine from the instrumented
WebKitGTK is that the path that crashes is never run if WebKit's icons
database is disabled (disabling this is not uncommon).  So the current
proposed fix is to disable the icons database since the Browser does not
use it in any way.  Hopefully this will prove to be adequate.

The patch for this is attached.  It will be put into the 4.4 stream as
soon as it is open, and if it proves to work well over the summer then
it will be back-ported to the 4.3.1 stream as well.
