This PR updates references to the
old FreeCAD site with new ones.

I also substituted the broken logo link in the
manifest with the animated version of the logo.

FYI, domains don't mind the casing.

Note that while domains don't mind casing, the web server changes it automatically to lowercase - as the rest of the internet.

I'd say keep it lowercase

Thats not the server, thats your browser. ( Btw the browser doesn't even make any redirects for that )
It's the inverse, FreeCAD should in the future arrive in the year 2015 and nit prefix their page with www
Also regardless, it makes it shorter, easier to read and more future proof.

In the developer discussion held
on Discord it was decided that:

  • The url should drop the www prefix
  • Use all lowercase for the domain part

The spinner can be dropped but looks good otherwise

How about dropping the use of the image mark here?
The usage wasn't warranted in the first place and it didn't really follow the guidelines for the text mark portion of the logo either.

The loader is neat for showing when stuff is loading, but it shouldn't be used arbitrary as it makes it a bit distracting.

How is this relevant to the PR?

This PR changes just one type of thing for a reason,
if you want to have the layout modified, that should
be done in a dedicated PR afterwards.
