Move hosting to something other than GitHub pages #28

GitHub pages is great, however:

It doesn't allow as much control over served content (eg #27 can't be fixed)
It means Treeherder/Taskcluster have both an uptime and security dependency on GitHub Pages, now that they are using the unified log viewer themselves

Other options might be:

Heroku (eg using https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nginx or combining with the nodejs buildpack for automatic building)
SCL3 static file cluster
CloudFlare (with custom page rules to adjust max-age etc)
S3/CloudFront

I would prefer Heroku, but would probably need a combination of Node.js and a static buildpack. Node.js for building, and static for hosting, since Node.js isn't the right solution for the hosting bits.

Once we convert this to a React component, we will no longer need to worry about hosting this, as users can just import the component!

Sounds good!

@edmorley I've got a first version of a standalone React component:

https://github.com/mozilla-rpweb/react-lazylog

I'd love to get your thoughts on it, and then we can talk about getting it implemented elsewhere.

I love the idea of that approach - looks good!
