Fixes: #21035

This PR ensures the netbox/media/ directory is present by default (including in release archives) by adding a .gitkeep file to track the directory in the repository.

To avoid tracking user-uploaded content, .gitignore is updated to ignore everything under media/ except the .gitkeep placeholder. This aligns with the install/upgrade docs which assume the directory exists when setting permissions, and should prevent chown from failing on fresh installs.
