Description

As requested/discussed in ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/8856

It is sometimes necessary to access the filtered/searched QuerySet generated by the current request parameters outside of the changelist_view. For example, when exporting the current queryset in a custom view. In the current implementation, this cannot be achieved in a DRY fashion. Extracting the ChangeList instantiation into its own method allows this DRY reuse.

This also allows the test code to utilise consistent/DRY instantiation of ChangeList objects in place of the current hacks such as admin_changelist.tests.get_changelist_args -- see new pull request.
