upgrade whitenoise

Probably should be addressed concurrently w/ upgrading Django.

I updated this but need to review the settings for whitenoise per the whitenoise docs and heroku.

So I'm actually thinking that we ditch whitenoise altogether and use aws cloudfront / cdn to serve or staticfiles. We already have an s3 bucket setup for images. pricing on cloudfront seems to be negligible up to the first 1TB of data for the month if I read the pricing structure correctly.

I've already done this with my personal site on heroku and it was quite straight forward. All we need installed is django-storages and boto3 (already installed) along with a cloudfront instance associated with our S3 bucket.

At @eevelweezel or @JoeJasinski let me know if you'd like to pair on this in the near future so we can get all the AWS stuff setup ... or I could just upgrade whitenoise 😆
