This commit eliminates deprecation warnings that are raised on Django
3.1 or 3.2. Namely, urls.url() has been deprecated: URL definitions
are encouraged to use one of either path or re_path.
However, there's no need to use regular expressions for a simple "match
the start of the string, a pattern, then the end of the string."
Is this safe?
This change works on Django 2.0 or greater. django-waffle requires a
minimum of Django 2.2 (earlier releases are not unsupported by Django
anyway), so this should be a safe change.
