Description
Some database backends has special requirements when the database gets migrated. 
For example, when using django.contrib.gis.db.backends.spatialite as a backend, the database file should be initialized at first time with this command: "SELECT InitSpatialMetaData();" Unless, it causes some error like https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20968.
I guess this would be appropriate: adding a before_migration() method to DatabaseWrapper, and letting database backends inherit it to do some jobs.
