Configure EmberCli::Deploy::File cache headers

Closes [#401].

Previously, requests for Ember assets were being proxied through
`EmberCli::Deploy::File` Rack middleware without the HTTP
`Cache-Control` header.

Ember `production` builds digest the filenames of images/css/js/etc.
This makes these files highly cachable.

This commit configures the underlying `Rack::File` middleware to serve
assets with the `Cache-Control` header set by Rails.

 ### Deployment Strategies
 
-By default, EmberCLI-Rails will serve the `index.html` file that `ember build`
-produces.
+By default, EmberCLI-Rails uses a file-based deployment strategy that depends on
+the output of `ember build`.
+
+Using this deployment strategy, Rails will serve the `index.html` file and other
+assets that `ember build` produces.
+
+These EmberCLI-generated assets are served with the same `Cache-Control` headers
+as Rails' other static files:
+
+```rb
+# config/environments/production.rb
+Rails.application.configure do
+  # serve static files with cache headers set to expire in 1 year
+  config.static_cache_control = "public, max-age=31622400"
+end
+```
