Add /rfd/slug/raw for getting raw asciidoc

[benjaminleonard]

Doesn't quite fix #181, since it's the processed and combined document, but that seems perhaps like a niche use case and we can't get that from the API.

@sunshowers is this useful? Not sure how you'd auth for non-public RFDs from an agent or CLI.

Thanks -- happy to treat the private RFD use case separately. It would be nice to extend the RFD API to output documents before pre-processing, though -- having parts of the document live in another file has been pretty important for reducing the amount of context fed into the LLM.

(I also don't know whether it's okay to do this for all public RFDs, or just an allowlisted subset.)

[benjaminleonard]

If you ran the site in local mode, I think you might be able to view any RFD without logging in (don't quote me on that one).

I think it is fine to make this available for all public RFDs. The fact we don't provide the exact files is just a detail of how the API is constructed.

The implementation of individual file access is definitely something we should implement in the API. The underpinning work that is needed is also needed for implementing more precise dependency change tracking, and something I have wanted to add for quite a while.
