fix: resolve jQuery conflict breaking admin autocomplete fields in Django 5

The admin's SortedModelSelect2Multiple widgets were broken because:
1. Django admin namespaces jQuery as django.jQuery and removes $ from global scope
2. The Media class was loading bower's jQuery which overwrote $ with a new instance
3. Select2 was attached to django.jQuery but code was calling $().select2()

This fix:
- Adds jquery_shim.js to expose django.jQuery as global $ and jQuery
- Wraps sortable_select.js in IIFE using django.jQuery
- Removes conflicting bower jQuery from Media classes
