The main goal is to configure persistent db connections, this solves two problems:

improves latency
in combination with a fixed number of uwsgi workers it puts a limit on the number of db connections the website can open, and this makes db usage predictable

It appears that django doesn't support persistent db connections with asgi yet:
https://github.com/django/django/pull/17914#issuecomment-1986390557
https://github.com/django/django/pull/16881
otherwise we could potentially switch to using a connection pool and continue using asgi.

This change also makes it more consistent with the rest of our web infra, which is using the same uwsgi deployment model.

Deployment:

./ansible.sh -i environments/production install.yaml --tags=pull,uwsgi
./ansible.sh -i environments/production deploy.yaml
