Change behavior of DELETE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to purge contents of the directory, not the directory itself.

Added Debug level logging for each deletion
Added error level logging when a delete has an exception
Built a test case for clean_output_directory in tests.utils.py
Updated `settings` in documentation to reflect new behavior
Removed the tip from the bottom of getting started since this setting should no longer break web servers pointing to the output directory.
