Model objects with deferred fields don't send pre_save or post_save signals to receivers with explicit sender — at Initial Version

Description
Because the objects returned by Model.objects.only(*fields)
are of a special object type, and that type is used as the sender
for the post_save
signal send, these deferred objects never invoke signal handlers that registered with an explicit signal sender.
Something like this should reproduce:
`
# models.py
class MyModel(models.Model):
bigfield = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
# signals.py
@receiver.register(post_save, sender=models.MyModel)
def mymodel_post_save_handler(sender, kwargs):
print "handler called"
# repro code
m = MyModel.objects.create()
# (handler is called)
deferred_m = MyModel.objects.only('id').get(id=m.id)
deferred_m.bigfield = 'yo'
deferred_m.save()
# (handler should be called, but is not)
`
Happy to produce a proper test app/project if needed.
