Previously when collecting static files, the directories would receive permissions
from the global umask. Now the default permission comes from FILE_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS
and there's an option to specify the permissions by subclassing any of the
static files storage classes and setting the directory_permissions_mode parameter.

Use 'update_fields' in RelatedManager.clear() when bulk=False.

Thanks Simon Charette for the suggestion.

The `remove()` and `clear()` methods of the related managers created by
`ForeignKey`, `GenericForeignKey`, and `ManyToManyField` suffered from a
number of issues. Some operations ran multiple data modifying queries without
wrapping them in a transaction, and some operations didn't respect default
filtering when it was present (i.e. when the default manager on the related
model implemented a custom `get_queryset()`).

Fixing the issues introduced some backward incompatible changes:

- The implementation of `remove()` for `ForeignKey` related managers changed
  from a series of `Model.save()` calls to a single `QuerySet.update()` call.
  The change means that `pre_save` and `post_save` signals aren't called anymore.

- The `remove()` and `clear()` methods for `GenericForeignKey` related
  managers now perform bulk delete so `Model.delete()` isn't called anymore.

- The `remove()` and `clear()` methods for `ManyToManyField` related
  managers perform nested queries when filtering is involved, which may
  or may not be an issue depending on the database and the data itself.

Application template now includes an empty migrations module, and
the autodetector will only make initial migrations for apps with
empty modules.

Fixed #21499 -- Migrations won't work if field signature changes
