21230	Remove usage of direct settings manipulation in Django's tests	Anssi Kääriäinen	Huu Nguyen	"A number of tests use direct settings manipulation. They should instead use django.test.utils.override_settings(). Direct manipulation doesn't send setting_changed signal, and is also error-prone as it is somewhat easy to miss changing the setting back to its original value.

I am marking this as easy picking. The problematic tests can be found with `git grep 'settings\.\w* ='` in tests/ directory (another directory is django/contrib/gis). Pick one file, change instances of settings.SOME_SETTING = someval to with override_settings(SOME_SETTING=someval) and reindent as needed. Run tests, commit, send pull request and repeat for some other file."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Testing framework	dev	Normal	fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
