backends-nginx: Add support for Nginx versions older than 1.5.9.

In this commit we are adding support for Nginx version older than
1.5.9. This is achieved through conditionally quoting the URL's in
X-Accel-Redirect headers according to compatibility with Nginx.
Since newer versions of Nginx expect URL's in X-Accel-Redirect to
be quoted unlike the versions older that Nginx 1.5.9. From this commit
onwards we start to expect a 'NGINX_VERSION' config setting to be setup
in the django settings in order to facilitate decision making regarding
quoting URL's. If such a setting is not found we just assume Nginx version
to be greater then 1.5.9 and make decision accordingly and then cache the
decision by making use of a decorator. Using this result we decide whether
the outgoing URL should be quoted or not.
Fixes: #56, #58. Closes #45.

 You need to pay attention to whether you have trailing slashes or not on the SENDFILE_URL and root values, otherwise you may not get the right URL being sent to NGINX and you may get 404s.  You should be able to see what file NGINX is trying to load in the error.log if this happens.  From there it should be fairly easy to work out what the right settings are.
 
+Also if you are willing to use django-sendfile with Nginx older than 1.5.9, you need to setup the configuration setting in django settings for specifying Nginx version like this:
