55196: _django: drop stale pre-1.9 command list

The hardcoded subcommands array lists commands removed from Django
between 1.9 and 1.10 (reset, runfcgi, sql, sqlall, sqlclear,
sqlcustom, sqlindexes, sqlreset, syncdb, validate). The last Django
release that shipped these commands was 1.8, which reached end of
life in April 2018.

These entries cannot provide backward compatibility: the file also
parses manage.py --help at runtime, which would already surface them
on any Django version that still has them. On every modern Django
release, however, they appear as phantom entries that produce
"Unknown command" when selected.

Drop the list and rely entirely on the runtime parse. This eliminates
the maintenance burden that caused it to drift out of date.
