The only reason why GenericForeignKey and GenericRelation are stored
separately inside _meta is that they need to be cloned for every model
subclass, but that's not true for any other virtual field. Actually,
it's only true for GenericRelation.
The old names were downright confusing. Some seemed to mean the opposite
of what the class actually did.
The new names follow a consistent nomenclature:
(Forward|Reverse)(ManyToOne|OneToOne|ManyToMany)Descriptor.
I mentioned combinations that do not exist in the docstring in order to
help people who would search for them in the code base.
At 2800 lines it was the largest module in the django package. This
commit brings it down to a more manageable 1620 lines.
Very small changes were performed to uniformize import style.
Moved data loss check when assigning to a reverse one-to-one relation on
an unsaved instance to Model.save(). This is exactly the same change as
e4b813c but for reverse relations.
Moved the lookup in Field.swappable_setting to Apps, and added
an lru_cache to cache the results.

Thanks Marten Kenbeek for the initial work on the patch. Thanks Aymeric
Augustin and Tim Graham for the review.
This adds a new method, Apps.lazy_model_operation(), and a helper function,
lazy_related_operation(), which together supersede add_lazy_relation() and
make lazy model operations the responsibility of the App registry. This
system no longer uses the class_prepared signal.
Field.rel is now deprecated. Rel objects have now also remote_field
attribute. This means that self == self.remote_field.remote_field.
In addition, made the Rel objects a bit more like Field objects. Still,
marked ManyToManyFields as null=True.
Previously related fields didn't implement get_lookup, instead
related fields were treated specially. This commit removed some of
the special handling. In particular, related fields return Lookup
instances now, too.
Other notable changes in this commit is removal of support for
annotations in names_to_path().
These cached properies were causing problems with pickling, and in
addition they were confusingly defined: field.rel.model._meta was
not the same as field.rel.opts.
Instead users should use field.rel.related_model._meta inplace of
field.rel.opts, and field.rel.to._meta in place of field.rel.to_opts.
As suggested by Anssi. This has the slightly strange side effect of
passing the expression to Expression.convert_value has the expression
passed back to it, but it allows more complex patterns of expressions.
