Align Django bump with App Engine pinning

This change only bumps the pip dependency, but production still forces Django 1.2 via use_library('django', '1.2') in appengine_config.py (lines 11–16), so the vulnerability isn’t actually remediated in the App Engine runtime and local dev will now be running a different Django version than prod. If any dependency (e.g., gae_mini_profiler/gae_bingo mentioned in that same file) relies on Django APIs, the mismatch can cause behavior differences that won’t be caught in local testing. Consider updating the App Engine library pin (or removing it) alongside the requirements bump so runtime and dev stay consistent and the security fix is effective.
