Requesting index.html from root will serve the data browser, not the file itself

[megoth]

Based on SolidOS/userguide#7 I became aware that if you request index.html from the root of a storage, it will return the HTML for the data browser instead of the index.html file itself.

E.g. https://megoth.solid.community/ will give another response than https://megoth.solid.community/index.html. The latter is a handy bug for people who want to edit the index.html file though, so before fixing this bug we need to make sure that users have the ability to edit index.html via the data browser using other means.

With the fix in #1341 we do get this feature though, as users can fetch the contents of index.html through "Your stuff" in the Dashboard. This paves the way for a fix for this bug, which would result in the correct HTML being returned, which is also good for the Source, which will show the correct HTML instead of the default HTML for the data browser.

To note: This is only for the index.html in the root folder, not any subfolders.

@megoth How would you propose allowing users to both edit a root html file via the data browser?

@megoth @jaxoncreed
there is a request by @timbl that NSS do not use mashlib/dist/index.html (for mashlib it is a temporary hack) but mashlib/dist/databrowser.html which is already available in mashlib (see comments https://github.com/solid/mashlib/pull63)

It should solve the point
The change is to be done in NSS get.js
