django.test.testcases.TestCase inherits from TransactionTestCase, so when
django.db is not used in the project, it complains during testing about
"ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES". A solution is to use
SimpleTestCase (which TransactionTestCase inherits from), but this class
doesn't contain the useful test helpers currently located in
TransactionTestCase, which aren't in any way related to db handling:
* assertRedirects
* assert(Not)Contains
* assertFormError
* assertTemplate(Not)Used
* _urlconf_setup(teardown).
Proposal: move them out either to SimpleTestCase, or a separate class
other tests (including TransactionTestCase) can inherit from, so they can
be used in non-db test cases.
