28478	Make DiscoverRunner skip creating a test database if not needed	Tim Graham	nobody	"Inspired by https://gist.github.com/zenweasel/7495758 and https://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2013/10/02/skipping-test-db-creation/, `DiscoverRunner` could skip creating the test database if no `TransactionTestCase` or its subclasses are used.

I'd suggest adding an attribute on the test classes such as `_needs_database` rather than using `isinstance(test, TransactionTestCase)` in those patches. This would allow compatibility in case Django users have other classes using the database that don't inherit from Django's classes (though I'm not aware of anyone doing this)."
