Support stable heading id for non english languages #968

Description

@Alexey-NM

Feature

I need ability to make refrences to headers from external documentation (some_chapter.html#zagalovok).
Unfortunately If I have a title in a non english language it will have numeric id which can be changed in any time.
It is difficult to automate and it is unstable because such number can be changed at any time.

<section id="id2">

Solution

I want to have the ablility to define the id generation function in my conf.py to a function that accepts a string and returns a stable id.

The function will generate stable id by a node title.

<section id="zagalovok">

I have maken some test in the function generate_heading_target

name = nodes.fully_normalize_name(implicit_text)
name = conf.make_id_by_any_lang(name)

It seems It is working.

Will it be accepted If I make a pull request?
