Jetpack Sharing module passes random image to Facebook

Description

We set our website for WordCamp Cologne ​https://cologne.wordcamp.org/2015/ to automatically share posts on Facebook via Jetpack's Sharing module.

If we don't provide a featured image, a random image is passed instead. In our case a sponsor logo was picked randomly which gives extra promotion to that particular sponsor and therefor is an unwanted side effect.

Per ​Slack discussion, the current logo is too small.

meta-1019.patch​ changes it to ​wordpress-bg-medblue.png, which is 1200x630 and is also used when sharing blog posts from wordpress.org/news/.

Jetpack Publicize Tweaks: Switch to a larger default image.

The previous image's dimensions were too small, and Facebook was ignoring it.
