exempt-paths refactor suggestion

idea

Based on thinking and research, below is a suggestion for handling exempt-paths in turnstile_middleware.py.

Some nice things about this...

the regex-compilation happens just once, when the webapp first loads, improving speed.
it allows us to change a .env setting easily, without deploying new code.
it allows the pattern-match code in turnstile_middleware.py to be simple, becase regex is handling the "starts-with" or "anywhere-within" check.

My October-2024 question

(continuation from irrelevant code-thread)...

If I had a PDF that conformed to this standard, and wanted to indicate that in metadata, what would be the a common digital-repository metadata xml spec where I'd list this conformance? And please provide an example or two of what the entry might look like.

	## Purpose:
	## This script hacks Django's sqlite package to enable it to work with an old version
	## of sqlite3 on an old version of RedHat.
	##
	## Flow:
	## It checks if django and pysqlite3 and pysqlite3-binary are installed in the virtual environment.
	## If the required packages are not found, the script alerts the user and exits.
	## If the packages are found, it proceeds to update Django's `sqlite3/base.py` file.
