Local development setup and reset depends upon Unix-specific shell commands

[Samya-Agg]

Problem statement

The current 'MakeFile' uses unix-specific commands like-
reset-db:
rm -f db.sqlite3
python ./manage.py createcachetable
python ./manage.py migrate
python ./manage.py load_initial_data

• Make is not present by default in Windows.
• rm is a unix-specific command.

Proposed solution

The solution could include moving the actual setup and reset code to Django Management commands like-

• python manage.py dev_setup
• python manage.py dev_reset

And then updating MakeFile.
