This allows specifying ForeignKeys in REQUIRED_FIELDS when using a
custom User model.
Thanks cjerdonek and bmispelon for suggestion and timgraham for review.
The Model.from_db() is intended to be used in cases where customization
of model loading is needed. Reasons can be performance, or adding custom
behavior to the model (for example "dirty field tracking" to issue
automatic update_fields when saving models).
A big thank you to Tim Graham for the review!
Previously, GET, POST, and FILES on an HttpRequest were created in
the __init__ method as dictionaries. This was not something you would
usually notice causing trouble in production as you'd only see a
WSGIRequest, but in testing using the test client, calling .getlist
on GET, POST, or FILES for a request with no get/post data resulted in
an AttributeError.
Changed GET and POST on an HttpRequest object to be mutable
QueryDicts (mutable because the Django tests, and probably many
third party tests, were expecting it).
Keeping backwards compatibility with test_runner.option_list is
tricky and would imply transforming an optparse.Option to an
argparse.Action. I choose to introduce a backwards incompatible
change because it only affects testing, not runtime behavior.
It prevented the GZipMiddleware from compressing some data types even on
more recent version of IE where the corresponding bug was fixed.
Thanks Aaron Cannon for the report and Tim Graham for the review.
``HttpRequest.build_absolute_uri()`` now correctly handles paths starting with ``//``.
``WSGIRequest`` now doesn't remove all the leading slashes either,
because ``http://test/server`` and http://test//server`` aren't the same thing
(RFC2396).
Thanks to SmileyChris for the initial patch.
Previously the FORMAT_MODULE_PATH setting only accepted one string (dotted
module path). A feature has been added to also allow a list of strings.
This is useful when using several reusable third party apps that define new
formats. We can now use them all and we can even override some of the formats
by providing a project-wide format module.

Exceptions from the (receiver, exception) tuples returned by
``send_robust()`` now have always their traceback attached as their
``__traceback__`` argument.
Fields can now receive the `label_suffix` attribute, which will override
a form's `label_suffix`.
This enhances the possibility to customize form's `label_suffix`, allowing
to use such customizations while using shortcuts such as
`{{ form.as_p }}`.
Note that the field's own customization can be overridden at runtime by
using the `label_prefix` parameter to `BoundField.label_tag()`.

Previously, when logging out, the existing session was overwritten by a
new sessionid instead of deleting the session altogether.
This behavior added overhead by creating a new session record in
whichever backend was in use: db, cache, etc.
This extra session is unnecessary at the time since no session data is
meant to be preserved when explicitly logging out.
