File cleanup callback used to emulate the old delete behavior using signals. Initially django deleted linked files when an object containing a File/ImageField was deleted.

Usage:

>>> from django.db.models.signals import post_delete

>>> post_delete.connect(file_cleanup, sender=MyModel, dispatch_uid="mymodel.file_cleanup")
