Get the files directory for all 10 sites synced to drupal.org/files somehow. Drupal.org has 5GBs of files and it doesn't make sense to have 50GBs of space for all 10 staging sites. Each site might need to overwrite certain files so we don't know if we can sync them all

In discussion with nnewton and calebg, we decided to use a single files directory and symlink it. It's our believe that collisions will be managed by the Drupal file api, and would be unlikely anyway.

So... nnewton set up an rsync module for us: www1.drupal.org:drupal-files

To sync up staging1.drupal.org:

cd /var/www/staging1/htdocs
rsync -avz www1.drupal.org::drupal-files files

This doesn't need to be done except when we pull a new sanitized database from d.o.

The other staging sites files directories are symlinked to this one.
