The 'web' icon ('ref-cite-web' from Cite extension) is not distinct or clear enough to be kept in the OOUI icon repo. We should remove it and reuse 'browser' from 'interactions' pack instead

@Jdforrester-WMF The other possibility were to use same repo icon under other pack as well…
I like the idea.
What I, personally, see when I look at the current "web" icon is a computer. What I see when I look at the "browser" icon is an application window. Both are not strictly limited to the act of "surfing the world wide web". But it seems there is no better, universal metaphor, other than using the abbreviation "WWW" directly. If I would need to pick one of the two existing metaphors, I would go with the more simple, more clean application window.
I would love to have icons for "desktop", "mobile", as well as "tablet" in the OOUI library. Maybe we can reuse the current web icon for this?
@Esanders Browser isn't new, it has been part since a long time, see v0.17.0 demos. T141801 doesn't show any current usage of 'browser', neither does https://codesearch.wmflabs.org/search/?q=%27browser%27&i=nope&files=&repos=
Do you see 'window' as better fit?
I don't think either is particularly representative of a website, but given we have a text label here as well it probably doesn't matter.
Let's go with browser for now and resolve this duplication later.
