Remove redundant response.status_code assertions in tests

[Tim Graham]

self.assertContains(response, '...') also checks the response's status code. There are a lot of places (in the admin_views tests is the place I noticed it) where there's a redundant assertion that verifies self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200).

[Alex Morozov]

@timgraham, are you talking about these? Could there be a situation when a view fails but still returns the wanted text? If not, I'll try to remove 'em.
