Description

Each served html should have livereloading functional. For now it works only for `index.html` files.

### Why

To use servor livereload feature not only for spa, but for traditional sites as well.

### How

I believe this should work as default, but it could be opt-in.

### Workaround

I found only one way to achieve this - place separate `index.html` into nested directories (one dir per html), link them with `/nested_dir` and run servor with `servor --reload --static`

Research direction

Start at the servor CLI path used by `--reload --static` and trace how `index.html` is served and livereload is currently attached. Confirm how non-index HTML files are handled; done means livereload works for every served HTML page, with the default-versus-opt-in behavior clarified.
