Support public dir (#4783)

* Add optional static_dir support

- add optional application.static_dir field defaulting to none
- copy configured static directory into web output during build/serve
- document config knob and add unit tests
- force full rebuild when static_dir contents change
- sync removes stale outputs and logs copy activity
- track static manifest next to platform dir

Tests: cargo fmt

* default to public dir to match vite

* static_dir -> public_dir

* wip

* deser as none...

* wip... use .manifest.json

* implement dumb form of asset manifest generation

* implement manifest using asset system directly

* cleanup

* dont create extra asset dir for server
