This is useful for single page apps where the routing is handled on the client. I'm using it to serve a webapp using `dodrio`.

I'm happy to accept it. Can you change the option description to bit though: "Single page app mode (404s are redirected to '/')". Instead of "404s redirected to '/'", "404s respond with '/index.html'". That looks to be more accurate. It might be reasonable to just enable this whenever |

This PR adds an option to redirect all file misses to the path '/index.html'. This is useful for single-page apps where the routing is done client-side. I'm raising this as a draft PR because it's a new feature out of the blue, and you might not want it. :)
