Restrict /s/* to GET and HEAD (closes #169)
check / check (push) Successful in 3m37s

The static file server was attached with Mount, which registers every
method, so POST, PUT and DELETE on an asset were answered 200 with the
file. It is now registered for GET and HEAD only, inside a /s group
whose method-not-allowed handler answers 405 with Allow: GET, HEAD.
A method chi does not route at all, such as PROPFIND, still gets 405
from the top-level router, without Allow. The inverted test and the
README route table say the same.
