Description

In setting up a database, it is nice to allow for pk=0 objects in the database (specifically to deal with non-null foreign keys). Because of indexes, this is possible only when post_syncdb is triggered (and not via fixtures), but since it is a logical data entry it makes sense to allow code entries for it. For example:

        User.objects.create(id=0, username='', first_name='', last_name='', email='', password='', is_active=False, is_staff=False,
            is_superuser=False, date_joined=datetime(1900,1,1), last_login=datetime(1900,1,1))

However one line prevents this by using bool(pk_val), which is the same for pk_val is None and pk_val = 0. The patch fixes this and allows for post_syncdb additions of zero pk inserts.

(In [5933]) Fixed #5102 -- Fixed model saving so that 0 can be used as a primary key value. Thanks, oggie rob.

(In [5934]) Tweaked the unset primary key check from [5933] to accommodate models created in the oldforms style. It's a backwards-compatibility hack that we can remove when oldforms go away. See #2160 for discussion. Fixed #5204, #2160. Refs #5102.
