Bundle resource files (HTML, CSS/JS, images, templates) into binary

[juliusv]

It would be great if we could distribute and run Prometheus as a single binary without any external files needed for serving e.g. the web interface.

One possibility how to do this: https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata
Another option: https://github.com/bradfitz/camlistore/blob/master/pkg/fileembed/fileembed.go

Nice, thank you!

Only one remark: if we don't strictly need the "foo.html" => "fooHtml"
conversion, I would vote for just using the original filename as the map
key. Less code, less error possibilities, easier to read.
