MP6: Inconsistent icon for site name menu

Description

The site-name menu icon changes between a globe and a home icon depending on the media query in use. In the <782px media query it's a home icon, but in all others it's a globe.

We should pick one icon and stick with it. Which one?

Move #wpadminbar responsive styles from wp-admin.css to admin-bar.css. Remove unneeded font overrides and !importants where possible. Make sure the site menu item uses the globe icon consistently instead of switching to the home icon <782px. Fixes #25971.

I wonder whether the home icon is actually a better one to use rather than the globe. The globe doesn't mean anything. If I want to view the home page of my website, the home icon is a much better indicator than a globe.

Thoughts?

25971.diff​ switches the site menu from the globe to the house glyph. This change feels more logical, and I believe the globe was originally chosen before Dashboard was switched to use the gauge icon. Submitting this as a patch, however, since it's a late change.

We're good to go on this patch per Matt.

Change the site menu icon from a globe to home, which is a better metaphor for what it does. Fixes #25971.
