Removes all symlinks in MEDIA_ROOT and then scans all installed applications for a media folder to symlink to MEDIA_ROOT.

If installed app has a media folder, it first attempts to symlink the contents
    ie:   app/media/app_name -> MEDIA_ROOT/app_name
    
If the symlink name already exists, it assumes the media directory is not subfoldered and attempts:
    ie:  app/media -> MEDIA_ROOT/app_name"""
