[1.7.x] Fixed #24193 -- Prevented unclosed file warnings in static.serve()

This regression was caused by 818e59a3f0. The patch is a partial
backport of the new FileResponse class available in later Django
versions.
Thanks Raphaël Hertzog for the report, and Tim Graham and Collin
Anderson for the reviews.
