34457	makemigrations --check no longer prints the changes	David Sanders	Adam Johnson	"As a result of #34051 the `--check` flag on makemigrations simply exits 1 without writing any changes.

This makes sense as it's consistent with other uses of `--check`.

However one consequence of this change is that my CI server no longer prints the changes it thinks I need to make – and this makes the situations where the local dev & CI are different, harder to debug.

I'd like to propose reverting this change and instead forcing `--dry-run` to be set if `--check` is supplied. This way makemigrations goes through the motions of what it needs to write, outputting those changes to the log but the dry flag prevents any migrations from being written."
