Title: Allow override of include_host in static_url.

Thereby supporting the generation of absolute URLs even though the
handler - by default - would have generated a relative URL for instance.
The reverse scenario is of course supported also.

In the case of having to change the generation of static URLs from being relative to absolute it should be easy to do so without having to utilize two handlers or even worse changing the include_host attribute between calls to static_url.
