Connection creation was done in db backend ._cursor() call. This
included taking a new connection if needed, initializing the session
state for the new connection and finally creating the connection.
To allow easier modifying of these steps in subclasses (for example to
support connection pools) the _cursor() now calls get_new_connection()
and init_connection_state() if there isn't an existing connection. This
was done for all non-gis core backends. In addition the parameters used
for taking a connection are now created by get_connection_params().
We should also do the same for gis backends and encourage 3rd party
backends to use the same pattern. The pattern is not enforced in code,
and as the backends are private API this will not be required by
documentation either.
F() expressions reuse joins like any lookup in a .filter() call -
reuse multijoins generated in the same .filter() call else generate
new joins. Also, lookups can now reuse joins generated by F().
This change is backwards incompatible, but it is required to prevent
dict randomization from generating different queries depending on
.filter() kwarg ordering. The new way is also more consistent in how
joins are reused.
The select_related code got confused when it needed to travel a
reverse relation to a model which had different parent than the
originally travelled relation.
Thanks to Trac aliases shauncutts for report and ungenio for original
patch (committed patch is somewhat modified version of that).
The problem is the same as in #10888 which was reintroduced when
bulk_insert was added. Thanks to Jani Tiainen for report, patch and
also testing the final patch on Oracle GIS.
This is the start of a deprecation path for the depth kwarg on
select_related. Removing this will allow us to update select_related so
it chains properly and have an API similar to prefetch_related.
Thanks to Marc Tamlyn for spearheading and initial patch.

The dupe avoidance logic was removed as it doesn't seem to do anything,
it is complicated, and it has nearly zero documentation.
The removal of dupe_avoidance allowed for refactoring of both the
implementation and signature of Query.join(). This refactoring cascades
again to some other parts. The most significant of them is the changes
in qs.combine(), and compiler.select_related_descent().
There was a potential data-loss issue involved -- when clearing
instance's m2m assignments it was possible some other instance's
m2m data was deleted instead.
This commit also improved None handling for to_field cases.
The Query.select and Query.select_fields were collapsed into one list
because the attributes had to be always in sync. Now that they are in
one attribute it is impossible to edit them out of sync.
Similar collapse was done for Query.related_select_cols and
Query.related_select_fields.
There was a bug introduced in #18676 which caused fast-path deletes
implemented as "DELETE WHERE pk IN <subquery>" to fail if the SELECT
clause contained additional stuff (for example extra() and annotate()).
Thanks to Trac alias pressureman for spotting this regression.
Done for consistency with Q() expressions and QuerySet combining. This
will allow usage of '&' and '|' as boolean logical operators in the
future. Refs #16211.
RETURNING is an extension of the SQL standard, which is not implemented
the same by all databases. Allow DatabaseOperations.return_insert_id to
return a None to allow for other 3rd party backends with a different
implementation.
