Serve random files

Vaguely API-compatible with [serve-static][].

## API

### serveRandom(root, options)

Create a new middleware function to serve files from within a given root directory. With each inbound request, a random file will be selected from the given root directory. The module will not recurse into subdirectories.

The response's max-age is always set to 0.

#### Options

##### fallthrough

Set the middleware to have errors (clients using an HTTP method other than `GET` or `HEAD`, or `root` being empty) fall-through as just unhandled requests, otherwise forward a client error. The difference is that client errors will cause this middleware to simply `next()` to your next middleware when this value is `true`. When this value is `false`, these errors (even 404s), will invoke `next(err)`.

Defaults to `true`.

## Acknowledgments

This module heavily borrows code from [serve-static][] - many thanks to the great people who work on that module.
