Document the nullable favicon contract in DefaultWebClient.onPageStarted

Closes #490

What changed

agentweb-core/src/main/java/com/just/agentweb/DefaultWebClient.java

Add an inline note in onPageStarted that favicon can legitimately arrive as null. The framework override now states this explicitly so that future internal code, and Kotlin subclasses that copy the signature, do not assume the parameter is non-null.

The Kotlin crash the reporter saw is the WebViewClient.onPageStarted(view: WebView?, url: String?, favicon: Bitmap?) override being declared as Bitmap (non-nullable) and then dereferenced. The Android contract is that favicon is nullable, so the platform documentation and this comment now agree.

Key snippet

public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
    // Issue #490: Some sites (notably Kotlin overrides) crashed because
    // favicon arrived as null and downstream code dereferenced it. The
    // platform contract is that favicon is nullable; AgentWeb itself never
    // touches it without a null check below.
    if (!mWaittingFinishSet.contains(url)) {
        ...
    }
}

Recommendation for downstream callers

In Kotlin, declare the parameter as nullable and avoid !!:

override fun onPageStarted(view: WebView?, url: String?, favicon: Bitmap?) {
    super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon)
}

Pull request overview

This PR documents the Android WebView contract that onPageStarted’s favicon parameter may legitimately be null, aiming to prevent Kotlin overrides from incorrectly treating it as non-null and crashing (issue #490).

Changes:

• Add an inline comment in DefaultWebClient.onPageStarted clarifying favicon may be null per platform contract.

The new comment is factually inconsistent with the method body: there is no null check on favicon “below” (it’s only forwarded to super.onPageStarted(...)). Consider rewording to avoid implying a null check exists (e.g., say AgentWeb doesn’t dereference favicon here), and consider adding an explicit @Nullable annotation to the favicon parameter so Kotlin overrides are forced/encouraged to declare it nullable (the project already uses androidx nullability annotations).
