setting up directory and serving static files using go-chi

directory layout and concepts

I come from a Asp.net MVC background. as such there is some conventions:

• controllers: this is where URl routes are handled. I use Root to refer to paths at /.
  Otherwise, sub paths are handled by named controllers.
  /admin is handled by admin.go
  /admin/DeleteSomething would be a route defined and handled in the admin.go file.
• views: views are laid out to match the controllers. a view such as views/admin/ListUsers.tmpl would be found used in the admin controller, preferrably in AdminListUsersHandler()
• public: list of public static files, such as css, images, javascript.

In later parts I will be using this same layout, and extending it as the application becomes more complex.
