The `remove()` and `clear()` methods of the related managers created by
`ForeignKey`, `GenericForeignKey`, and `ManyToManyField` suffered from a
number of issues. Some operations ran multiple data modifying queries without
wrapping them in a transaction, and some operations didn't respect default
filtering when it was present (i.e. when the default manager on the related
model implemented a custom `get_queryset()`).
Fixing the issues introduced some backward incompatible changes:
- The implementation of `remove()` for `ForeignKey` related managers changed
from a series of `Model.save()` calls to a single `QuerySet.update()` call.
The change means that `pre_save` and `post_save` signals aren't called anymore.
- The `remove()` and `clear()` methods for `GenericForeignKey` related
managers now perform bulk delete so `Model.delete()` isn't called anymore.
- The `remove()` and `clear()` methods for `ManyToManyField` related
managers perform nested queries when filtering is involved, which may
or may not be an issue depending on the database and the data itself.

Thanks Anssi Kääriäinen and Tim Graham for the reviews.
This patch introduces the Prefetch object which allows customizing prefetch
operations.
This enables things like filtering prefetched relations, calling select_related
from a prefetched relation, or prefetching the same relation multiple times
with different querysets.
When a Prefetch instance specifies a to_attr argument, the result is stored
in a list rather than a QuerySet. This has the fortunate consequence of being
significantly faster. The preformance improvement is due to the fact that we
save the costly creation of a QuerySet instance.
Thanks @akaariai for the original patch and @bmispelon and @timgraham
for the reviews.
This commit introduced a new class JoinPromoter that can be used to
abstract away join promotion problems for complex filter conditions.
Query._add_q() and Query.combine() now use the new class.
Also, added a lot of comments about why join promotion is done the way
it is.
Thanks to Tim Graham for original report and testing the changes, and
for Loic Bistuer for review.
Thanks dan at dlo.me for the initial patch.
- Added __pow__ and __rpow__ to ExpressionNode
- Added oracle and mysql specific power expressions
- Added used-defined power function for sqlite
The typo could have consequences in exceptional cases, but I didn't
figure out a way to actually produce such a case, so not tests.
