web_framework: Disable caching templates files in development mode
- When a template page is updated, we are having to restart service in order for
the new changes to reflect. This is due to caching of template files starting
Django 4.1[1]. Disable this behavior in development mode to allow reload the
browser page to see changes reflected.

Links:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/releases/4.1/#templates

Tests:

- Change a template file and reload the page without restarting service. The
changes should reflect immediately.
