Fix #974
The new endpoint is
/files/<string:file_id>where file_id is a string with 8 random letters and numbers, which is highly unlikely to repeat before the Neurosift cache resets (currently after 1000 entries)See comments in #974 for rationale of using a random string instead of other schemes.
Clearing the Neurosift cache database doesn't work from the GUIDE domain so I removed that code and test.
