app
name to be 'staticfiles'

In `django.contrib.staticfiles.management.commands.collectstatic`,
`Command.set_options()`, there is:
```python
ignore_patterns += apps.get_app_config("staticfiles").ignore_patterns
```
This looks for config `class StaticFilesConfig` in the app trying to
overwrite `ignore_patterns`. Because Django forces the class name to match
config name (in this case `StaticFiles`, the name of the app is forced to
be `staticfiles`, it cannot be anything else. Either the hard-coding in
collectstatic command set_options() should be changed, or document at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/staticfiles
/#customizing-the-ignored-pattern-list should be changed for the example
which shows the Config can be named `MyStaticFilesConfig`, which is
clearly cannot be.
I have just started on Django (3-4 months) and I have looked at number of
places, this info is missing, hence raising this ticket.
