Added the ability to update only part of the model's fields in
model.save() by introducing a new kwarg "update_fields". Thanks
to all the numerous reviewers and commenters in the ticket
Though some attempts and backwards-compatibility were made, speed trumped compatibility. Thus, as usual, check BackwardsIncompatibleChanges for the complete list of backwards-incompatible changes.
Thanks to Jeremy Dunck and Keith Busell for the bulk of the work; some ideas from Brian Herring's previous work (refs #4561) were incorporated.
Documentation is, sigh, still forthcoming.
Fixes#6814 and #3951 (with the new dispatch_uid argument to connect).
