26448	Improve docs for running tests using a different database	Anna Schneider	nobody	"For new contributors working on `contrib.postgres`, it is confusing when the tests in `test_postgres` are skipped by default. Some possible improvements include:

In the ""skipped tests"" paragraph of https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/intro/contributing/#running-django-s-test-suite-for-the-first-time, mention that another reason that tests might get skipped is if the tests are specific to a non-sqlite database. Add a link to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/#using-another-settings-module to help people use a different settings module.

In https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/#using-another-settings-module, clarify that the default settings module is located at `django/tests/test_sqlite.py`.
