Bring back tini-static! 🎉

This allows the use of `tini` within even more minimal environments (such as images that are `FROM scratch` with a single application binary `COPY`'d in).

 ### Size Considerations ###
 
 Tini is a very small file (in the 10KB range), so it doesn't add much weight
 to your container.
