Add middleware to the server. `app` is a [Connect] instance.

For example, to add `X-Powered-By: Hexo` to the response header:

```js
hexo.extend.filter.register("server_middleware", function (app) {
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
res.setHeader("X-Powered-By", "Hexo");
next();
});
});
```
This hook is provided by [hexo-server], not Hexo core, so it only runs when `hexo-server` is installed. See the [hexo-server README] for an implementation example.

P2 Badge Point the README link at an existing example

The new note sends readers to https://github.com/hexojs/hexo-server#middleware, but I checked the linked hexo-server README on master and it only has Installation, Usage, Options, and License headings, so the #middleware anchor does not exist and there is no implementation example there. When users follow this documentation they land on the top of the README without the promised server_middleware guidance; this should either keep the example here or link to a committed page/PR once that Middleware section exists.
