Installation/upgrade

Proposed Changes

In the installation instructions, when you are instructed to chown the directories, the command sudo chown --recursive netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/media/does not work since the directory /opt/netbox/netbox/media/is not available by default. At least when using the release based install method.

Posible solution

Add instructions to create the directory /opt/netbox/netbox/media/ after each upgrade and install before changing directory permissions.

OR

Ship this directory in the git repo with a .gitkeep, to track said directory.
