#17857: CachedFilesMixin url_converter creates unnecessarily absolute urls

-------------------------------------+--------------------
The url converter outputs absolute urls, even if they were originally
defined as relative. If I do a collectstatic while DEBUG=True, it uses my
local dev STATIC_URL.
So url("../img/shadow.png") becomes
url("/static/img/shadow.96b0bd7b6268.png")
Only my production STATIC_URL is 'http://mystatic.s3.amazonaws.com/' so
this link is broken when DEBUG=False
That's just a symptom of the problem that the url converter bakes in
whatever STATIC_URL is in effect when collectstatic is run. If the final
result was a relative path, then it would work wherever the static files
ended up living. So ideally url("../img/shadow.png") becomes
url(".../img/shadow.96b0bd7b6268.png"). This file would be portable no
matter what the STATIC_URL is set to.
