Future of the COMPRESS_STORAGE setting in Django 4.2+

[browniebroke]

Slightly related to #1187, but longer term idea.

Django recently deprecated the STATICFILES_STORAGE and DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE setting. In Cookiecutter Django, under some configuration, we do COMPRESS_STORAGE = STATICFILES_STORAGE. With the new setting, this would be COMPRESS_STORAGE = STORAGES["staticfiles"]["BACKEND"], which doesn't read as well.

So here is my question: should django-compressor consider adding or migrating the COMPRESS_STORAGE setting to something like COMPRESS_STORAGE_ALIAS, which would refer to a key from the STORAGES dict?

Obviously, this would only work for Django 4.2+, so it might make sense to wait before the old settings are completely gone from the versions supported by django-compressor, as I imagine reading from 2 possible settings * 2 values (default + user) might make the config code complicated.
