Luke Plant 25020ddb05 Fixed #4604 - Configurable message passing system, supporting anonymous users
This deprecates User.message_set in favour of a configurable messaging
system, with backends provided for cookie storage, session storage and
backward compatibility.

Many thanks to Tobias McNulty for the bulk of the work here, with
contributions from Chris Beaven (SmileyChris) and lots of code review from
Russell Keith-Magee, and input from many others.  Also credit to the authors
of various messaging systems for Django whose ideas may have been pinched
:-)

===========================
Django Deprecation Timeline
===========================
This document outlines when various pieces of Django will be removed, following
their deprecation, as per the :ref:`Django deprecation policy
<internal-release-deprecation-policy>`
* 1.3
* ``AdminSite.root()``. This release will remove the old method for
hooking up admin URLs. This has been deprecated since the 1.1
release.
* 1.4
* ``CsrfResponseMiddleware``. This has been deprecated since the 1.2
release, in favour of the template tag method for inserting the CSRF
token. ``CsrfMiddleware``, which combines ``CsrfResponseMiddleware``
and ``CsrfViewMiddleware``, is also deprecated.
* The old imports for CSRF functionality (``django.contrib.csrf.*``),
which moved to core in 1.2, will be removed.
* ``SMTPConnection``. The 1.2 release deprecated the ``SMTPConnection``
class in favor of a generic E-mail backend API.
* The many to many SQL generation functions on the database backends
will be removed. These have been deprecated since the 1.2 release.
* The ``Message`` model (in ``django.contrib.auth``), its related
manager in the ``User`` model (``user.message_set``), and the
associated methods (``user.message_set.create()`` and
``user.get_and_delete_messages()``), which have
been deprecated since the 1.2 release, will be removed. The
:ref:`messages framework <ref-contrib-messages>` should be used
instead.
* 2.0
* ``django.views.defaults.shortcut()``. This function has been moved
to ``django.contrib.contenttypes.views.shortcut()`` as part of the
goal of removing all ``django.contrib`` references from the core
Django codebase. The old shortcut will be removed in the 2.0
release.
