Refactored compiler SELECT, GROUP BY and ORDER BY generation.
While there, also refactored select_related() implementation
(get_cached_row() and get_klass_info() are now gone!).
Made get_db_converters() method work on expressions instead of
internal_type. This allows the backend converters to target
specific expressions if need be.
Added query.context, this can be used to set per-query state.
Also changed the signature of database converters. They now accept
context as an argument.
A field for storing periods of time - modeled in Python by timedelta. It
is stored in the native interval data type on PostgreSQL and as a bigint
of microseconds on other backends.
Also includes significant changes to the internals of time related maths
in expressions, including the removal of DateModifierNode.
Thanks to Tim and Josh in particular for reviews.
Complete rework of translating data values from database
Deprecation of SubfieldBase, removal of resolve_columns and
convert_values in favour of a more general converter based approach and
public API Field.from_db_value(). Now works seamlessly with aggregation,
.values() and raw queries.
Thanks to akaariai in particular for extensive advice and inspiration,
also to shaib, manfre and timograham for their reviews.
Also fixes a slight issue in sqlite3.schema._remake_table where
default values where quoted with "column name" quoting rules.
Reference for quoting: http://www.sqlite.org/lang_expr.html
Thanks Shai Berger for the review. Refs #22424.
Changed the migration autodetector to remove models last so that FK
and M2M fields will not be left as dangling references. Added a check
in the migration state renderer to error out in the presence of
dangling references instead of leaving them as strings. Fixed a bug
in the sqlite backend to handle the deletion of M2M fields with
"through" models properly (i.e., do nothing successfully).
Thanks to melinath for report, loic for tests and andrewgodwin and
charettes for assistance with architecture.
