Bedrock Static Media Improvements

1. Move to Django 1.6
2. Move media to use staticfiles (PR #2672)
   1. move from jingo-minify to django-pipeline
3. Clean up deployment
4. Move to Python 2.7 (Bug 1118786) (Full process from IT etherpad)
   1. install peep
   2. peepify requirements files for compiled dependencies (possibly using peepin)
   3. alter code to use proper python (Bug 1118786, PR #2629)
      1. Adjust https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/tree/master/bin/update scripts to call proper python
         • See https://github.com/mozilla/fjord/commit/6f4eb86f15f1fc31fc892e421adb28e015ce6474 for example
      2. Adjust https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/tree/master/etc/cron.d to call proper python
         • Ideally via PYTHON_PATH provided by Chief... would require this to be some form of template.
         • Alternatively, a simple duplicate hard-coding of what's in commander_settings.py
   4. update Travis CI to test against 2.7
5. Move from Apache to Whitenoise for serving static media
   1. Move non-template files served at site root (humans.txt, contribute.json, etc.) to a directory and have whitenoise serve it at the root of the site (via WHITENOISE_ROOT setting).
6. Move deployment fully to peep and remove vendor submodules
   1. use virtualenv built for step 2
   2. use peepify to update requirements files
7. Upgrade Django to latest (1.7 at present)
8. Move to a hybrid Gulp + Django media management system (CSS, JS, Images, etc.)

9. Add JS tests to CI
