Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I create a document with Sphinx, I want to refer it from iOS or Android. But when I bookmark the doc link, it is not beautiful because it does not have an icon for it.

Describe the solution you'd like
Sphinx already has "html_fabicon" setting. Using the similar way, it would be great to add a "html_touch_icon" or something like that for setting apple touch icon tag in setup.py.

Research direction

Start by locating Sphinx's existing html_fabicon setting and the HTML output path, then review setup.py as referenced in the issue. Done means a new html_touch_icon setting can configure the Apple touch icon tag in generated documentation; verify the setting's behavior against the existing favicon handling.
