Description
If I have an app called auth, that has my custom user model, I need to change the label to make it work with INSTALLED_APPS.
If I change the label to project.auth, then I have to change the AUTH_USER_MODEL to 'project.auth.User'.
This currently give an error that says that 'project.auth.User' is not of the form 'app_label.UserModel' even when it is. This because of the code here:https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/checks.py#L15 that assumes that anything before the first split is a label and after is the model name.
I would like to fix this issue.
