Fixes #1812 -- Added model validity checks to ensure that models.py exists, and has been successfully imported for all INSTALLED_APPS. Previous behaviour was to silently ignore empty/problem models, which resulted in the display of an admin page that doesn't display a supposedly installed model. Thanks to Ian Holsman for the original report.
