30308	Clarify in documentation that runserver is overridden for django.contrib.staticfiles	David Beitey	nobody	"In the main [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#serving-static-files-during-development static files] documentation, the serving process is generally explained that `runserver` will automatically serve files if DEBUG is set to true.  This isn't quite the full story because it's not the _original_ `runserver` that is being used, and rather it's the one from `django.contrib.staticfiles`.  This  gets explained if you [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#runserver dig deeper], but it isn't clear what's happening before getting this deep.

PR at https://github.com/django/django/pull/11121

This PR makes a clarification to the wording of this section in the docs to explain ''how'' `runserver` is working its magic, and that if you have a custom `runserver` command (like I did), you need a special strategy.
