Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
The breaking change is important. We can't just bring that in.
Adding a setting **might** be OK — folks could set it to STATIC_ROOT to
get the old value — BUT #26029 is about restructuring all this anyway: to
add a setting only to need to deprecate it is too much churn. (Even
assuming we'd take the hit on breaking people's deployments as they failed
to make the changes in time.)
Adding the manifest_storage kwarg (taking a storage) is small and simple.
That's why I think we should advance with it. Later, when #26029 comes
along, we can review the exact API we want there — we can either configure
`manifest_storage` directly in the settings, or allow a path there that
will used internally — but that's a separate conversation (one we can
defer).
