Fix configuration of the STATIC_URL in siteconfig.
Review Request #4080 — Created April 26, 2013 and submitted
Fix configuration of the STATIC_URL in siteconfig. Our siteconfig code was properly turning the site_static_url setting into settings.STATIC_URL, but it's too late at this point. Django has already created the StaticFilesStorage and populated it with the default settings.STATIC_URL. Fortunately, this all happens before that URL is ever used (since this is before any templates are rendered). So we can just grab the staticfiles_storage instance and replace the URL.
Set the URL to /foo/ in siteconfig here and then loaded a page. Saw that all the static media links were based on /foo/ (and of course now broken). Before this, they were /static/, no matter what that value was.
