Bug 906176: Move to using Django staticfiles for media.

This keeps the URL for CSS/JS/Images/Etc. as /media/ so that
all of the .less files and urls around the net need not change.
The new MEDIA_URL is '/user_media/', and the STATIC_URL is '/media/'.
The files all stay in the 'media' folder in the project, but they'll now
be served from the 'static' folder after 'collectstatic' is run.

All templates, views, and tests have been updated for the new changes,
as well as the l10n media helpers. The site works well for me in
spot-checks, and the tests pass.

One caveat is that you must run 'manage.py collectstatic' before
running tests due to the way jingo-minify works regarding the
compilation of .less files when not in DEBUG mode. I've yet to find
a way around this.

Bug 906176: Enable caching static storage and remove cachebusts.

Removes all of the "?2015-01" mess from images around the site.
Enables the built in django processor that will add the md5 hash
of the file contents to the file name then use that name in the
html when we use the "static()" helper in templates. The post-processor
also handles references to images in the CSS.

Use default staticfiles storage when testing.

Bug 906176: Move to django-pipeline from jingo-minify.

This includes some fixes for `static()` template calls.
We can backport those if we want to not go this way.

Fix high_res_img path problems.

Move to a Python 2.6 compatible Manifest staticfiles storage.

Make collectstatic quiet. Use manifest storage on travis.

Fix high_res_img and platform_img helpers for new filenames.

Thanks again for all of your work on this a while back Hector. It was a great first try and taught us a lot about how we should go about it. It's just unfortunate it took us this long to finally get it pushed out.
