    Stop shipping our own copy of the Django Admin media files.
    
    For historical reasons, we've shipped the Django Admin media files as part
    of our build directory. This comes from a time before rb-site existed, when
    we needed a single media directory with everything inside it. However, that's
    just problematic these days.
    
    Now we let the Django devserver handle the /media/admin path as it prefers
    to, and we link the proper path during rb-site upgrade. This lets us reduce
    our package size and prevents problems people may hit with different
    versions of Django.
    Tested creating and upgrading sites and saw that the media/admin directory pointed to the Django admin media directory.
    
    Tested that the media files would load during runserver.

    1. What about prepare-dev.py?
      1. Hmm? What about it?
        
        The devserver handles all media paths, so we don't need to symlink anything.
