Hi,

I did not know that passing nil to `find-image' would nuke the icon but
then, I think it is an even better idea:

      - From the point of view of a user that do not want the icon, it
        would still be « set some custom to nil »
        
      - It would allow funky icons for those who wants them

We just have to have a name for this new custom.  I vote for
`gnus-mode-line-logo'.
