Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
ZeroNet only supports serving static site files which can add dynamic functionalities with client-side JavaScript. However, there are some cases where client-side generated files are not possible. Some of these cases can be command line browsers, programmatic HTTP requests, usage of ZeroNet as package index for PyPI, NPM, Packagist, Docker...
**Describe the solution you'd like**
There should be support for files that are generated on the backend (like normal client-server architecture). This could be made using BackgroundProcessing plugin, which would be listed on specific URLs (routes) and return dynamically-generated content (like modern MVC frameworks).
@HelloZeroNet @imachug What do you think?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed BackgroundProcessing plugin and the specific URL routes that would return generated content. Define the supported route behavior and generated-file cases before implementation; the issue does not name files or tests.
