Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.

We have two different frontend implementations of computing the
un-resolved form of a topic name, and they have a subtle -- but
intentional -- difference in behavior.
Factor them both out into the resolve_topic module, along with
their inverse, and with comments and tests.
