Proposed functionality

NetBox currently exposes two configuration parameters for configuring file storage:

• STORAGE_BACKEND - Sets the storage backend (e.g. django-storages)
• STORAGE_CONFIG - A dictionary of backend-specific configuration parameters

We can replace these by instead exposing Django's STORAGES setting directly.

Use case

Django's native STORAGE_BACKEND setting was removed in v5.1 and superseded by STORAGES. There is no longer a need to handle the backend selection and configuration via separate configuration parameters.
