Comment (by celloexpressions):

 The most important thing here with regards to the Customizer is that this
 new control needs to extend `WP_Customize_Media_Control` (see the
 image/background image controls for more basic implementations of
 extending the base media control). Then the cropping bits within the media
 modal should be able to be implemented from that child control. Once it's
 working, we can go back and update the header images control to extend
 this new control. If that's working, we should have no trouble at all
 adding site icons into the mix with either a simple add_control or another
 child control of the cropping control if that's needed.

 In terms of the Customizer API, the current header images control doesn't
 do a great job because it was created before the other media controls used
 the media modal (think 3.4 media). So the goals would be to take the media
 modal parts of that and build it onto `WP_Customize_Media_Control` as a
 child control class.
