Use whitenoise for serving static files

Browse Source 
The usage of static files in the ARA API server is very limited.
They are used for displaying the API browser from django-rest-framework
and the Django admin interface.

By using whitenoise, Django can serve static files through "manage.py
runserver" and through the WSGI application without needing to enable
debug mode or adding specific routes.

This allows us to simplify the deployment a bit because we no longer
need to collect static files.
We're also taking this opportunity to simplify configuration a bit by no
longer exposing the following configuration options:

- STATIC_ROOT
- STATIC_URL
- MEDIA_ROOT
- MEDIA_URL

They'll still be loaded but there is no longer a use case for being able
to change the defaults -- at least for the time being.
