Using the full war deployment chain for simple static welcome content is
overkill and adds around 600 ms to the boot on my system.
This patch accomplishes the same thing but instead uses a virtual-host
property (enable-welcome-root) to kick off a service that directly
constructs a static web context. This results in pretty much no
additional/measurable increase in our boot. It also fixes some problems
with error handling.

If there are no objections, I'll ask that it be merged.
