This change improves Kubernetes (k8s) compatibility.

One of the main concepts in k8s is the idea of ephemeral pod - which can be destroyed/recreated at any moment.
In such case - entire media folder will vanish.
As result of "vanished media folder" - application should be capable of bringing back i.e. download from cloud storage all "vanished" files:

page hocr files
document file (i.e. original document)

Notice that page previews won't be downloaded - they will be locally regenerated (but before that, original document must be downloaded).

In Kubernetes deployment you'll need to use papermerge-s3 package as persistent storage.
