Specifying a file type in the favicon link

In the header code, the favicon link looks like

<link rel="icon" href="https://.../favicon.ico" sizes="32x32" />

but some search engines recommend this look

<link rel="icon" href="https://.../favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

Can you add the missing code to the WP core?
