GeoDjango inspectdb fails for PostGIS

Description

GeoDjango inspectdb fails for PostGIS if there are more data types 'geometry' (in more schemas) because PostGISIntrospection.get_postgis_types() is taking simply the first one. Patch is attached.

Another problem is that PostGISIntrospection.get_geometry_type() raises exception if a geometry column has no record in geometry_column which is quite usual. In that case I would suggest to return simply

return 'TextField', {}

instead of raising exception.

Fixed #16184 -- Fixed multiple PostGIS types introspection

Thanks radim.blazek@… for the report and initial patch.
Testing is tricky, as the failure condition is a bit of an edge
case. inspectapp.InspectDbTests should at least guarantee non
regression.
