Idea: add optional directory listing feature

[aochagavia]

Currently, staticfile doesn't handle anything other than files. This means that if the URL points to a directory, staticfile will either serve a index.html file or it will return an error. I think it would be useful to provide a directory listing feature in cases where there is no index.html. Would this fit the scope of staticfile?

Yes, as long as the behavior was configurable, as there are certainly many cases where you do not want a directory listing to be publicly available.

Maybe with .htaccess files? Or .htaccess.toml?

Another alternative is to specify directly in the code the directories that will be served. None, all or a selection of directories.

I implemented this a couple of days ago for my own needs. Do you think that it can be merged into this repo?
