only consider some fields (PostgreSQL only).
For this, the ``distinct()`` QuerySet method now accepts an optional
list of model fields names and generates ``DISTINCT ON`` clauses on
these cases. Thanks Jeffrey Gelens and Anssi Kääriäinen for their work.
Fixes#6422.

Implemented this by adding an internal hook for work that should be performed
before that point.
Also, regarding the `DatabaseCreation.set_autocommit()` method:
* Stop using it for such tasks
* Stop providing an implementation that tries to cover all the possible
idioms a third party database backend DB-API 2 driver could need to activate
autocommit. It is now left for third party backends to implement.
This can be backwards incompatible in the case of user applications that:
* Had started using this method
* Use a third a party database backend

Changed our internal representation of the PostgreSQL version from tuples to
integers as used by libpq and psycopg2. This simplifies version comparison
operations.
Also, using the associated libpq/psycopg2 API allows to remove the need for
manually issuing in-band ``SELECT version()`` SQL queries to obtain the server
version (or at least reduce its number if version of psycopg2 in use is older
than 2.0.12). Refs #10509.

A number of people worked on this patch over the years -- Hawkeye, Colin Grady,
KBS, sakyamuni, anih, jdemoor, and Issak Kelly. Thanks to them all, and
apologies if I missed anyone.
Special thanks to Dan Fairs for picking it up again at the end and seeing this
through to commit.

The unification had been introduced in r12352 and native backend exceptions still
slipped through in cases that end in connection.commit() call. Thanks Alex,
Jacob and Carl for reviewing.

This monster of a patch is the result of Alex Gaynor's 2009 Google Summer of Code project.
Congratulations to Alex for a job well done.
Big thanks also go to:
* Justin Bronn for keeping GIS in line with the changes,
* Karen Tracey and Jani Tiainen for their help testing Oracle support
* Brett Hoerner, Jon Loyens, and Craig Kimmerer for their feedback.
* Malcolm Treddinick for his guidance during the GSoC submission process.
* Simon Willison for driving the original design process
* Cal Henderson for complaining about ponies he wanted.
... and everyone else too numerous to mention that helped to bring this feature into fruition.

Affects the postgresql_psycopg2 backend only. We now don't use the
"RETURNING" syntax in SQL INSERT statements unless it's required by the
autocommit behaviour. This fixes an edge-case that could cause crashes
with earlier PostgreSQL versions, but the broader problem remains to be
fixed (which is #10509).
Fixed#10467. Refs #10509.

I introduced a bad regression in r10029, forgetting to check that some
syntax was supported. For now, you can't use autocommit=True with 8.1
and earlier (it's still available for later versions). I'll fix the
broader issue later and re-enable it for those versions, but I want to
get the SQL regression for the default path out of the code right now.

There was a bug in the way we were reading the DATABASE_OPTIONS setting
and a lot of essentially duplicated code. This is neater.

Ensure to read the documentation before blindly enabling this: requires some
code audits first, but might well be worth it for busy sites.
Thanks to nicferrier, iamseb and Richard Davies for help with this patch.

This is backwards-compatible but will likely break third-party database backends. Specific API changes are:
* BaseDatabaseWrapper.__init__() now takes a settings_dict instead of a settings module. It's called settings_dict to disambiguate, and for easy grepability. This should be a dictionary containing DATABASE_NAME, etc.
* BaseDatabaseWrapper has a settings_dict attribute instead of an options attribute. BaseDatabaseWrapper.options is now BaseDatabaseWrapper['DATABASE_OPTIONS']
* BaseDatabaseWrapper._cursor() no longer takes a settings argument.
* BaseDatabaseClient.__init__() now takes a connection argument (a DatabaseWrapper instance) instead of no arguments.

This is a no-op for most databases. Only necessary on PostgreSQL so that we can
do things which will possibly intentionally raise an IntegrityError and not
have to rollback the entire transaction. Not supported for PostgreSQL versions
prior to 8.0, so should be used sparingly in internal Django code.
