Update Element entry to Element X

Changes

The Element entry had a broken icon and pointed to the legacy Element clients rather than Element X (the next-generation Element client). This PR fixes both:

• icon: https://element.io/images/favicon.png → https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/13446337
  The old URL returns 404 (element.io now serves favicons from dynamic asset paths). Replaced with the stable element-hq GitHub avatar, matching the convention used by other entries in the file.
• name: Element → Element X
• github: element-hq/element-web → element-hq/element-x-ios
• iosApp: Element Messenger (id1083446067) → Element X (id1631335820)
• androidApp: im.vector.app → io.element.android.x
• description: updated to mention Element X

Note: Element X is mobile-first at the moment (no element-x-web repo exists yet), so the github field had to pick one platform — went with element-x-ios. Happy to restructure into a separate Element X entry alongside the legacy Element entry if you'd prefer to keep both.

Thank you

Will element-web repo get a deprication notice? It does seem to still be getting actively maintained.
