Aymeric Augustin 7f6fbc906a Prevented static file corruption when URL fragment contains '..'.
When running collectstatic with a hashing static file storage backend,
URLs referencing other files were normalized with posixpath.normpath.
This could corrupt URLs: for example 'a.css#b/../c' became just 'c'.

Normalization seems to be an artifact of the historical implementation.
It contained a home-grown implementation of posixpath.join which relied
on counting occurrences of .. and /, so multiple / had to be collapsed.

The new implementation introduced in the previous commit doesn't suffer
from this issue. So it seems safe to remove the normalization.

There was a test for this normalization behavior but I don't think it's
a good test. Django shouldn't modify CSS that way. If a developer has
rendundant /s, it's mostly an aesthetic issue and it isn't Django's job
to fix it. Conversely, if the user wants a series of /s, perhaps in the
URL fragment, Django shouldn't destroy it.
