I've been seeing a bit of over-reliance on defer() and only() in code
around the place and it's generally better modelled with normalised data
or shadow (unmanaged) models. This commit makes this position clearer.

This monster of a patch is the result of Alex Gaynor's 2009 Google Summer of Code project.
Congratulations to Alex for a job well done.
Big thanks also go to:
* Justin Bronn for keeping GIS in line with the changes,
* Karen Tracey and Jani Tiainen for their help testing Oracle support
* Brett Hoerner, Jon Loyens, and Craig Kimmerer for their feedback.
* Malcolm Treddinick for his guidance during the GSoC submission process.
* Simon Willison for driving the original design process
* Cal Henderson for complaining about ponies he wanted.
... and everyone else too numerous to mention that helped to bring this feature into fruition.

Not sure if any of these are noticed as omissions yet; it's too new.
Primarily trying to head off questions in the future.

These features look similar, but they're not identical. They can't be merged
into one (without requiring at least two Meta parameters anyway), so we've made
them have APIs that match their natural use-cases most easily.
Anyway, the documentation explains both the details and gives some simple to
follow rules.

Large portions of this are needed for #5420, so I implemented it fully.
Thanks to Ryan Kelly for an initial patch to get this started.
Refs #5420.

This allows a model to be defined which is not subject to database table
creation and removal. Useful for models that sit over existing tables or
database views.
Thanks to Alexander Myodov, Wolfgang Kriesing and Ryan Kelly for the bulk of
this patch.
