Add bugsink-util script to allow settings-independent commands to be run

+"""A copy of the Django-generated manage.py, but:
+
+* in the bugsink.scripts package, such that it can be wrapped by a setuptools-installable script
+* with the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE set to `bugsink.settings.default` by default.
+
+This script can be used to run Django management commands for which the settings _don't matter_.
+
+Such commands "should probably" be extracted to be Django-independent, but that incurs its own extra work (as well as
+future maintenance burden): some utility code is shared, the command utilizes the Django argv parsing, and a separate
+repo _always_ brings extra overhead (e.g. for testing, CI, etc.). So this is a pragmatic solution to the problem.
