This PR adds a caching header for static files. The header should force browser to cache static files for one hour.
After a cached file expires, browser usually revalidate it by making a conditional request (If-None-Match, If-Modified-Since). It seems that Apache does support conditional requests - a simple test can be done by reducing the caching time to 10 seconds and browsing Elixir for a while. After every 10 second period, first request to each static file gets a 304, unless the file was modified on the disk.
The PR also adds ?v to messages URL, and increments ?v on script.js to make sure that browser refresh the messages file.
