Ryan Hamamura f5158b866c feat: add Static and StaticFS helpers for serving static files
One-liner static file serving: v.Static("/assets/", "./public") for
filesystem directories and v.StaticFS("/assets/", fsys) for embed.FS.
Both auto-normalize the URL prefix and disable directory listings.

// Package via provides a reactive, real-time engine for creating Go web
// applications. It lets you build live, type-safe web interfaces without
// JavaScript.
//
// Via unifies routing, state, and UI reactivity through a simple mental model:
// Go on the server — HTML in the browser — updated in real time via Datastar.
