rails_real_favicon does not work with Rails 7's propshaft

[hachi8833]

Unfortunately, rails_real_favicon depends on Sprockets:

Workaround:

• Don't use asset pipeline for browserconfig + site
• just use a simple rails controller to serve the files.

# routes:

  get 'favicon/webmanifest' => 'favicon#webmanifest', format: :json
  get 'favicon/browserconfig' => 'favicon#browserconfig', format: :xml

# favicon_controller.rb
class FaviconController < ApplicationController
  def webmanifest
  end

  def browserconfig
  end
end

<!-- views/application/_favicon.html.erb -->
<link rel="manifest" href="/favicon/webmanifest.json">
<meta name="msapplication-config" content="/favicon/browserconfig.xml">

mkdir app/views/favicon
mv app/assets/images/favicon/site.webmanifest.erb  app/views/favicon/webmanifest.json.erb
mv app/assets/images/favicon/browserconfig.xml.erb app/views/favicon/browserconfig.xml.erb
rm config/initializers/web_app_manifest.rb

I have the same issue and was looking for something like an erb preprocessor, but for now this seems my only way out

This is cleaner and more flexible for me anyway. Thanks @zealot128 !
