Images updated through an API call remain stored to disk

Letting the disk run full (e.g. while syncing with AURA Sync) eventually leads to server errors. The old image should get deleted with an update.

This is going to be a two part solution:

1. A management command to remove all the site media that is not referenced in the database.
2. An updated serializer that ensures that an image is deleted before updating it.

The first part will be done in the main branch, the second will be done in the aep05 branch.

To remove all the images in the MEDIA_ROOT that are not referenced in the database, there's now a management command:

$ poetry run ./manage.py removestaleimages

If you're using docker-compose, you can execute it through:

$ docker compose exec steering poetry run ./manage.py removestaleimages

Or run:

$ docker compose run --rm steering removestaleimages
