Replace force_text with force_str for django >= 3

[vtemian]

Closes #22.

Since Django 3.0, force_text helper was declared deprecated.

From its definition, it seems that will be replaced with force_str

@brad , any news when this will be merged/reviewed?
Thx!

[robd003]

Is this project dead? Any reason why this hasn't been merged in for over half a year?

[lociii]

Would also really appreciate this change to get merged and released.
Less warnings, much better.

Unfortunately we're getting close to the first birthday of the PR :-(

It would be nice if this could be merged and released! Or if someone can take this over and release a 0.7. @brad ?

This is now necessary otherwise the package won't work with Django 4

[yourlabsopensource]

I'm maintaining a fork where I merged the pull requests and released 0.7.0 with Django 4.0 support.

[hockeybuggy]

Not that I am aware of. I don't have a commit bit for this and am no longer working in Django these days (not for any particular reason; no judgment implied).

Thank you for contributing to this beautiful app! 🎩
