hyper is already included in Zola due to the reqwest dependency (used
in the link_checker and templates components). Replacing Actix with
hyper in the serve command reduces the number of dependencies and
slightly improves build times and binary size.
* actix_web::fs is now found in the actix-files crate.
* NotFoundHandler is now implemented using ErrorHandlers and the
path to 404.html is provided to the not_found() function using
actix_web::App::data. This setup allows for additional StatusCodes
to be handled in the future, if desired.
* Cleanly serving index.html files for requests to directories now
appears to be possible simply by using index_file("index.html") in
the static files service, so handle_directory() is removed.
* chore: Update glob to 0.3

This implementation seems to match the behavior of the previous iron
server.
Static files are rendered as-is, and when a directory is requested, we
attempt to render a `index.html` found inside, or 404 if it's not
present.
The actix docs mention using channels to send a message to the server to
shut it down gracefully while running in another thread (as we're doing
here), but it seems like there would have to be some reorganization in
order to manage this effectively, perhaps holding the channel sender inside
`main.rs` so we can push a message through to the server when the call
to `cmd::serve()` finally returns.
For the time being, I left things without any careful attempts to
cleanup the server thread. This more or less matches the old iron
implementation as far as I can see.
The static file handling in actix is _just_ a little off from what we'd
want.
I left some comments in the source regarding why we can't just use their hook
for directory index redirection.
