Rocket pastebin

Based on https://rocket.rs/v0.5-rc/guide/pastebin/

• Add a web form to the index where users can manually input new pastes. Accept the form at POST /. Use format and/or rank to specify which of the two POST /routes should be called.
• Support deletion of pastes by adding a new DELETE / route. Use PasteId to validate .
• Indicate partial uploads with a 206 partial status code. If the user uploads a paste that meets or exceeds the allowed limit, return a 206 partial statuscode. Otherwise, return a 201 created status code.
• Set the Content-Type of the return value in upload and retrieve to text/plain.
• Return a unique "key" after each upload and require that the key is present and matches when doing deletion. Use one of Rocket's core traits to do the keyvalidation.
• Add a PUT / route that allows a user with the key for to replace the existing paste, if any.
• Add a new route, GET // that syntax highlights the paste with ID for language . If is not a known language, do no highlighting. Possibly validate with FromParam.
• Use the local module to write unit tests for your pastebin.
• Dispatch a thread before launching Rocket in main that periodically cleans up idling old pastes in upload/.
