ETags on static data endpoints #1104

Currently, all static data endpoints are returning weak ETags, and as requested in #364, the returned ETag is based off the server version.

This makes the ETag almost useless when it comes to reusing old responses, as updates typically only make a few changes to the static data (or none at all), but the new ETag will indicate that all of the static data has changed, making ESI retransmit the data.

I'm requesting that the static data endpoints be updated to use strong ETags, which will enable them to only send the response if the requested static data has actually been changed.

[referring to this issue] that's a really large task to solve. I'm aware of it but it's not likely to receive any attention any time soon.

Was kinda hoping it would be a quick change.
