#7027 Cache /nf/tool_icon_css better

/nf/tool_icon_css is a dynamically created CSS file. It is currently cached via etag headers, but that means a request still goes to the server and it has to respond with a 304. So this is a lot of extra requests (on sf.net, ~35% of /nf/tool_icon_css requests are 304s)

We should set a future expires header, and then do cache-busting with a unique URL by appending ?{{config.build_key}} (build_key is already used for this purpose for all our other static resources)

allura/lib/utils.py:serve_file() already adds a default expires header, the value just needs to be set in the ini file.

Is there some missing code related to the new file_expires_header_secs config? I'm not seeing anything that uses that to set the Expires value header further out.

Nevermind, just saw your comment and looking at serve_file() I see the config is called "files_expires_header_secs"

Updated key name. Also set it to a lower default value since it affects user & project icons, attachments, etc.
