Details:

The current implementation of the webserver (in src/apps/httpd) expects that
each URL refers to a file (in fsdata).

For my implementation I would like to have a representation of a local file
system, but this means that the provided URL does not match a file in the
HTTPD files (as part of the fsdata). 

For example, the URL i want to use is http://<server>/files/, but this would
result in a 404. Next to serving a directory overview I would also like the
option of downloading files directly from the directory, more like for example
Apache does.

To implement this I have added an option to the HTTPD configuration
(LWIP_HTTPD_CUSTOM_404_HANDLER). When this is defined a user callback function
(http_custom_404_handler) is called. If this function returns ERR_OK the data
provided by this function will be sent back to the client, otherwise the
normal 404 page will be served. Using this method I am able to very easily
create a /files/-handler, that can server a directory overview, but also
allows for downloading of files.

Note that the data provided by the callback function should include all
headers.
Next to the way I am using this method, this also allows for users to create
additional return codes (like a 418), as all the headers need to be provided
by the callback.

The patch is based on the STABLE-2.0.3_RELEASE.
