Fixes #15270 -- Moved back the serve view to django.views.static due to dependency conflicts with the contrib app staticfiles (reverts parts of r14293). Added a helper function that generates URL patterns for serving static and media files during development. Thanks to Carl for reviewing the patch.

-There may be files other than your project's static assets that, for
-convenience, you'd like to have Django serve for you in local development. The
-:func:`~django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve` view can be used to serve any
-directory you give it. (Again, this view is **not** hardened for production
-use, and should be used only as a development aid; you should serve these files
-in production using a real front-end webserver).
-
-The most likely example is user-uploaded content in :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT`.
-``staticfiles`` is intended for static assets and has no built-in handling for
-user-uploaded files, but you can have Django serve your :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT`
-by appending something like this to your URLconf::
-
- from django.conf import settings
-
- if settings.DEBUG:
- urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.staticfiles.views',
- url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'serve',
- {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
- )

-This snippet assumes you've also set your :setting:`MEDIA_URL` (in development)
-to ``/media/``.
