Extended django-stubs

This is an extension on the django-stubs project that makes it possible to represent all concrete descendants of an abstract Django ORM Model in terms of those abstract models.

The intention is to get this code working and tested and documented before getting those changes into the django-stubs project itself.

History

This project comes from working on a large Django project (millions of lines of code) that has varying levels of typing maturity within it. In working towards getting that project onto the latest version of mypy and django-stubs there twere 100s of errors that appeared due to mypy correctly complaining about abstract model types not having on them properties that are only on their concrete descendants. This project was created to resolve this issue without simply ignoring the problem.
