desktop: Add parameter for serving static files

See original GitHub issue

This is in regard to maputnik/desktop.

I like to propose a parameter --static for maputnik/desktop](https://github.com/maputnik/desktop) that takes a directory (e.g. --static ./foo/bar) and serves the contents of that directory with http.FileServer(http.Dir(...)) under /static.

The intended purpose for --static is to be able to serve assets for the style that is designed, such as sprites and glyphs with the http.Server that maputnik needs to spawn anyway. For example, it would be possible to edit the sprites JSON file and/or the sprites PNG on the local disk and simply reload (F5) Maputnik in the browser to refresh the icons used in the style. (For the initial implementation I’d not include file watches for static assets, maybe these could be added later, too.)

If this is of intereset to the maintainers I’d be happy to contribute a PR to maputnik/desktop.

@zstadler no worries, I tried it and didn’t find any issues. If you’ll see anything not working as expected, please open an issue to report.

Updated the binaries here and moved the idea regarding params for sprite/glyphs to https://github.com/maputnik/editor/issues/715.
