32983	Prevent developers from defining a related_name on symmetrical ManyToManyFields	Nick Touran	Nick Touran	In ManyToManyField, if the `symmetrical` argument is passed, or if it's a self-referential ManyToMany relationship, the related field on the target model is not created. However, if a developer passes in the `related_name` not understanding this fact, they may be confused until they find the information about symmetrical relationship. Thus, it is proposed to raise an error when the user defines a ManyToManyField in this condition.
