Document serving static files

[mischnic]

From @subuta in https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/3407#issuecomment-686247350:

Create .proxyrc.js with these contents.

const serveStatic = require('serve-static')

module.exports = function (app) {
  // Use static middleware
  app.use(serveStatic('static'))
}

Then you may access your static file like this http://localhost:1234/test.txt

@mischnic Thanks for your advice and quoting in here :)

As an additional information, my environments are following. and it works at least for me. Sorry if I missing something important at original thread(or here). https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/3407#issuecomment-686247350

• Node.js v10.16.3
• parcel@2.0.0-beta.1 (installed by npm i parcel@next -D command)

Took me a while to realize I also needed to npm install serve-static to get the example proxyrc file working.
