Web Manifest

Feature requests
1

Can generated Web Manifest and generation of similar site files be supported.

2

Zola is not really meant for PWA, what do you use web manifests for in a static site?

3

Mainly explicitly set the different favicons.

Also looking to generate humans.txt, security.txt, hackers.txt, etc. and other such files for completeness.

These are Hugo templates below.

Want to be able to do the same in Zola. Essentially port the code from the theme.

Essentially this is having non .html templates and a mechanism to evoke the template with data from another md or non md file and produce a non html output. Other than this nothing special need to be done. What is needed is a generalisation of what is already been done with html and md files which can be the default.
