24854	Clean up django.db.models.query._values()	Josh Smeaton	Ian Foote	"The `django.db.models.query._values()` method looks like it does much more than it should be doing in the frontend query class. We should try to move most of the method into `django.db.models.sql.query` so that other backends are able to have a better chance of replacing it's functionality.

It might also be worth seeing how much of the method can be factored with `sql.has_results` since they both setup the query in similar ways.
