[Seaside] Serving files from within Seaside

[Diego Lont]

And looking at my own code, you probably want this hint too:

the document you pass to the response should be a WAMimeDocument, best created with:
	on: <documentdata>
	mimeType: WAMimeType main: <…> sub: <…>
	fileName: <the default name the client can save this>
