`cache.tests.TestEtagWithAdmin` loaded views from the `admin_views` test
package. This is problematic because when the `cache` test package is
run in isolation, `admin_views` isn't in INSTALLED_APPS, and therefore
loading its models isn't allowed since the app loading refactor.
This reverts commit 66757fee7e.
Discussions have led to think that this functionality does not
bring significant benefits to justify the added complexity.

This feature allows the default `TIMEOUT` Cache argument to be set to `None`,
so that cache instances can set a non-expiring key as the default,
instead of using the default value of 5 minutes.
Previously, this was possible only by passing `None` as an argument to
the set() method of objects of type `BaseCache` (and subtypes).
Historically, the Django admin used to pass through the request
from an unauthorized access to the login view directly. Now we
are using a proper redirection, which is also preventing
inadvertantly changing data when POSTing login data to an admin
view when user is already authorized.
Thanks Marc Tamlyn and Tim Graham for the reviews.
This commit touchs various parts of the code base and test framework. Any
found usage of opening a cursor for the sake of initializing a connection
has been replaced with 'ensure_connection()'.
Thanks Curtis Malony and Florian Apolloner.
