Description

add get_context_data to ModelAdmin/AdminSite

it's useful have a common place where configure common context variables ( as in class based view ).
Both ModelAdmin/AdminSite have no similar method, and you are forced to override all the views to put a
common object into the context (context processor is not a good solution because is involved also in non-admin's views).

The patch simply add get_context_data(**kwargs) to ModelAdmin/AdminSite and change lines like

    context = {'key':value}

to

    context = self.get_context_data(**{'key':value})

if the idea is good maybe the patch can be changed to

    context = self.get_context_data(key1=val1, key2=val2,)

This seems useful, however I think this should first be considered as part of the CBV-refactoring experiment in #17208.

FYI there's no need to propose to close it, you could close it yourself. If you have not already commented on #17208 regarding this please do so.
