[1.8.x] Fixed #24338 -- Accepted Template wrapper in {% extends %}.

Explicitly checking for django.template.Template subclasses is
preferrable to duck-typing because both the django.template.Template and
django.template.backends.django.Template have a render() method.

Thanks spectras for the report.
