Project create/list API, clip uploads, CORS, public read

- Project gains a clip FileField; POST /api/projects/ creates one from an
  uploaded otio + clip (<=100 MB), owned by the requester
- add /api/me/ and project-detail; scene GET is public (view without login),
  PUT stays owner/collaborator-only
- serve media in DEBUG (range requests for video seek); CORS for the cljs dev
  origin with credentials
- seed_demo now builds the Challengers project from the bundled otio + 480p clip
