Use cache busting for css/js files

On app init, short hashes are generated from file checksums to use for
cache busting. These hashes are added into the full file name and used
to symlink to the actual file contents. These symlinks are loaded in the
jinja templates for each page, and can tell the browser to load a new
file if the hash changes.

This is only in place for css and js files, but can be extended in the
future for other file types if needed.
