[Bug] Unnecessary`apple-touch-icon` audit for Safari >= 15.4

[Rohan Kumar]

🐞 Bug report

Description

Webhint recommends adding an Apple Touch Icon even when targeting Safari >= 15.4. Safari 15.4+ added support for icons in Web App Manifests, as announced on the WebKit blog entry New WebKit Features in Safari 15.4.

Lighthouse plans to remove the audit in v10; see GoogleChrome/lighthouse#11458 (comment).

Details

Webhint version: v7.1.0

Thanks for the report @Seirdy

What do you think @molant, should we remove this hint?

Lighthouse removed the Apple-Touch-Icon audit 16 months ago. I think it's safe to remove it now.
