ASSETS_DEBUG should fallback to Django DEBUG by default

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set DEBUG = True, do not set ASSETS_DEBUG
  2. Do not run manage.py collectstatic
  3. Add this to template: {% assets "admin/js/vendor/jquery/jquery.js", output="jquery.js" %}{% endassets %}
  4. django-assets will crash with BundleError (file does not exist)
  5. Set ASSETS_DEBUG = True
  6. Everything will work fine.

Expected

Step 4. Everything works fine.

In other words, if ASSETS_DEBUG is not set explicitly, django-assets should follow Django DEBUG setting (and use staticfiles finders). Right now we are forced to change these settings simultaneously.
