Fixed #16050 -- BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Moved static files of the admin to conventional file system location.

Browse Source 
This also removes the need for ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX and replaces it with the convention to find admin's static files at STATIC_URL + 'admin/'.

Thanks to Jacob for the review and general help.

Backwards incompatible changes in 1.4
=====================================
django.contrib.admin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The included administration app ``django.contrib.admin`` has for a long time
shipped with a default set of static files such as JavaScript, images and
stylesheets. Django 1.3 added a new contrib app ``django.contrib.staticfiles``
to handle such files in a generic way and defined conventions for static
files included in apps.
Starting in Django 1.4 the admin's static files are now also following this
convention to make it easier to deploy the included files. In previous
versions of Django, it was also common to define a ``ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX``
setting to point to the URL where the admin's static files are served by a
web server. This setting has now been deprecated and replaced by the more
general setting :setting:`STATIC_URL`. Django will now expect to find the
admin static files under the URL ``<STATIC_URL>/admin/``.
If you've previously used a URL path for ``ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX`` (e.g.
``/media/``) simply make sure :setting:`STATIC_URL` and :setting:`STATIC_ROOT`
are configured and your web server serves the files correctly. The development
server continues to serve the admin files just like before. Don't hesitate to
consult the :doc:`static files howto </howto/static-files>` for further
details.
In case your ``ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX`` is set to an own domain (e.g.
``http://media.example.com/admin/``) make sure to also set your
:setting:`STATIC_URL` setting to the correct URL, for example
``http://media.example.com/``.
.. warning::
If you're implicitely relying on the path of the admin static files on
your server's file system when you deploy your site, you have to update
that path. The files were moved from :file:`django/contrib/admin/media/`
to :file:`django/contrib/admin/static/admin/`.
