[C/C ++] The rgba array generates the ICO file in Windows

In widows, only the. ICO format is the program icon, which is a source image format from BMP. The color in ICO can be expressed by color table or by using the rgba array.

For the ICO file format, see the official documentation:

The following is a C language that generates an ico file from rgba and generates a red icon file-test. ICO.
