[plt-scheme] Running PLT web server on port 80

You can do it by writing a Scheme script that starts and calls the
syscall to downgrade via the FFI. The core doesn't have it, but if you
write I am willing to add it.

I do it normally by running Apache on 80 for static files and proxying
to PLT for dynamic content.
