Description
This is follow up of the lazy operation refactor (#24215) that was initially thought to have introduced a regression in Django 1.9 (#25858) which ended up being a feature (#26186) people relied on since at least Django 1.2.
During the discussion about the behavior of app relative model reference defined on abstract models it was suggested the documentation should be revised to detail how ''recursive'', ''relative'' and ''absolute'' string references work and go on to explain how they work in an abstract context.
