Remove a few no longer needed compat checks and references (#7092)

* serializers: removes no longer needed compat checks

UUIDField and DurationField are both supported in all supported Django
versions.

IPAddressField was removed in Django 1.9, which is no longer supported.

* serializers: move related code closer together

This way it's easier to see all of the mappings in one place.

* serializers,docs: remove some DRF 2.x references

The last release of DRF 2.x was 5 years ago, it seems fine to remove
these references now.
