29796	Add a system check error if the prefix in the STATICFILES_DIRS ends with slash	Paweł Kołodziej	nobody	"With following config:

`STATICFILES_DIRS=[ ('front/', os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'front/build')) ]`

files from 'front/build' are collected by 'manage.py collectstatic' but no served by 'runserver'.
The problem is caused by trailing slash in prefix ('front/' instead of 'front').

My first solution was to normalize the prefix, but it was suggested that it's better to report error.
