30429	Allow different response classes in render().	Brad	nobody	"Add a klass (or maybe response_class) parameter to render() that lets user specify a response class other than HttpResponse.

- Allow any subclass of http.HttpResponseBase
- Default to http.HttpResponse
- Do a quick issubclass() check on the argument

What is the motivation for this?

render() is meant to be a shortcut and a convenience, so I am cautious about giving it too many parameters and defeating its original purpose.  But adding this parameter seems straightforward, frequently useful, and a good trade-off in that it's still keeping the function lightweight and adding flexibility without code complexity."
