The `remove()` and `clear()` methods of the related managers created by
`ForeignKey`, `GenericForeignKey`, and `ManyToManyField` suffered from a
number of issues. Some operations ran multiple data modifying queries without
wrapping them in a transaction, and some operations didn't respect default
filtering when it was present (i.e. when the default manager on the related
model implemented a custom `get_queryset()`).
Fixing the issues introduced some backward incompatible changes:
- The implementation of `remove()` for `ForeignKey` related managers changed
from a series of `Model.save()` calls to a single `QuerySet.update()` call.
The change means that `pre_save` and `post_save` signals aren't called anymore.
- The `remove()` and `clear()` methods for `GenericForeignKey` related
managers now perform bulk delete so `Model.delete()` isn't called anymore.
- The `remove()` and `clear()` methods for `ManyToManyField` related
managers perform nested queries when filtering is involved, which may
or may not be an issue depending on the database and the data itself.

Thanks Anssi Kääriäinen and Tim Graham for the reviews.
The issue was that two M2M hidden reverse managers
(related_name ending with a '+') could clash with each other.

Added an explicit mention of the exact value ranges for integer type
fields that are safe in all databases supported by Django. Also, put
all value numbers inside double ticks.
This patch introduces the Prefetch object which allows customizing prefetch
operations.
This enables things like filtering prefetched relations, calling select_related
from a prefetched relation, or prefetching the same relation multiple times
with different querysets.
When a Prefetch instance specifies a to_attr argument, the result is stored
in a list rather than a QuerySet. This has the fortunate consequence of being
significantly faster. The preformance improvement is due to the fact that we
save the costly creation of a QuerySet instance.

Thanks dan at dlo.me for the initial patch.
- Added __pow__ and __rpow__ to ExpressionNode
- Added oracle and mysql specific power expressions
- Added used-defined power function for sqlite
select_related('foo').select_related('bar') is now equivalent to
select_related('foo', 'bar').
Also reworded docs to recommend select_related(*fields) over select_related()
The option can be used to force pre 1.6 style SELECT on save behaviour.
This is needed in case the database returns zero updated rows even if
there is a matching row in the DB. One such case is PostgreSQL update
trigger that returns NULL.

The __eq__ method now considers two instances without primary key value
equal only when they have same id(). The __hash__ method raises
TypeError for no primary key case.

Thanks to Tim Graham for docs review.
Added OneToOneField to the list of model fields for which the unique
argument isn't valid. (OneToOneFields are inherently unique, and if
the user supplies a value for unique it is ignored / overwritten.)
Although the ModelForm validation code was changed to call
Model.full_clean(), the documentation still said otherwise. The
offending phrase was removed.

Sphinx generates left single quotes for apostrophes after
code markup, when right single quotes are required. The
easiest way to fix this is just by inserting the unicode
character for a right single quote.
Instances of the problem were found by looking for
">‘" in the generated HTML.
