Resolves #1
Description
With the introduction of Active Storage in Rails 5, each new deployment was causing the images that have been uploaded to be lost. This fix ensures that uploads managed by Active Storage are persisted and carried along between deployments so logos don't need to be re-uploaded.

How Has This Been Tested?
To test this, deploy a version of the site without using the fix (i.e., without the updated
linked_dirs
setting in capistrano). This is actually easy to do since capistrano cues off of the code in your working directory rather than in the branch you are trying to deploy.On the remote server, you'll need to delete the
~/apps/diaper_base/shared/storage
folder, since it's existence in combination with the code in the branch fixes the issue.
