Static assets not being served

[camertron]

Currently, none of the static assets (images, javascript, css, etc) will be served by a Kuby-deployed application, at least not by default. This is because Rails disables serving static assets in production. You can enable it by setting config.public_file_server.enabled = true in config/environments/production.rb, or by setting the RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES environment variable.

Kuby-deployed apps should serve static assets out of the box. We can do one of:

1. set the aforementioned environment variable.
2. build assets into a separate Docker image along with a simple file server. Much more complicated.

Kuby v0.8.0 shipped yesterday with the second option described above. Here's the relevant commit, specifically the rails_assets plugin.
