    This will be useful for supporting no-downtime upgrades. Admins
    attempting to upgrade GitLab via our no-downtime upgrade procedure have
    found that CSS and JavaScript often don't load while the upgrade is in
    progress. This is because in a mixed deployment scenario with a load
    balancer, this can happen:
    
    1. User accesses node version N+1, which then makes a CSS/JS request on
    version N.
    2. User accesses node version N, which then makes a CSS/JS requests on
    version N+1.
    
    In both scenarios, the user gets a 404 since only one version of the
    assets exist on a given server.
    
    To fix this, we provide an alternate path where previous and future
    assets can be stored.
