Support inheritance for model option classes

Description

This currently is not possible:

class BaseMeta(object):
    app_label = "myapp"

class Company(models.Model):
    class Meta(BaseMeta):
        pass

The reason is that db.models.options.Options.contribute_to_class() uses __dict__ to determine which attributes have been given. It attempts to delete from __dict__, which apparently is not allowed for new-style classes, but __dict__ will not include attributes of superclasses anyway.

I attached a simple patch that uses dir() instead - if been using it for a while and there don't seem to be any problems.

Note that the patch will *not* allow custom meta attributes by prefixing them with __:

metakritik.site: 'class Meta' got invalid attribute(s): _BaseMeta__myopt

Resolution: fixed

(In [7477]) Merged the queryset-refactor branch into trunk.

This is a big internal change, but mostly backwards compatible with existing
code. Also adds a couple of new features.
