This PR adds a cname configuration to [output.html] which is rendered into a CNAME file in the root of the generated site as required by GitHub Pages (see Managing a custom domain for your GitHub Pages site).

[output.html]
cname = "serde.rs"

The CNAME file is how GitHub knows which repo's site to serve when someone visits your domain. DNS records only point from domain (serde.rs) to domain (serde-rs.github.io), so the additional information is required to know that serde-rs.github.io/serde (i.e. the Pages site for github.com/serde-rs/serde) is the right repo to serve for that domain.
