Add a welcome page to the static resources

This is largely a precursor for the removal of the bundled webclient. The idea
is to present a page at / which reassures people that something is working, and
to give them some links for next steps.

The welcome page lives at `/_matrix/static/`, so is enabled alongside the other
`static` resources (which, in practice, means the client API is enabled). We'll
redirect to it from `/` if we have nothing better to display there.

It would be nice to have a way to disable it (in the same way that you might
disable the nginx welcome page), but I can't really think of a good way to do
that without a load of ickiness.

It's based on the work done by @krombel for #2601.

<h1>Synapse is running</h1>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Your Synapse server is listening on this port and is ready for messages.</p>
<p>To use this server you'll need a client - e.g. one of
<a href="https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html#clients">this list of Matrix clients</a>.</p>
<p>You can find (federated) rooms that might be of interest to you on
<a href="https://view.matrix.org/">view.matrix.org</a>.</p>
<p>Or you just start creating your own rooms with your friends.</p>
<p>Welcome to the Matrix universe :)</p>
