[BangPypers] Maintaining dev and prod env alike

[Vineet Naik]

I keep a file devsettings.py alongside settings.py and add environment
specific config in it.

Then inside settings.py, devsettings is imported and all those
settings are taken from there

devsettings.py is ignored by git but so that you don't lose any
settings and to make sharing of this file with other
contributors easy, maintain a file devsettings.py.sample which is
tracked by git.

Whenever a new setting is added in devsettings, it should also go into
the sample file.
