We have the following database set-up:
* the default database is MySQL
* two additional databases are PostGIS
The system check framework (either `manage.py check` or `manage.py
runserver`) is using the default database (mysql) to validate
`django.contrib.gis.db.models.Model`-based models, and the commands are
blowing up with the following error:
AttributeError: 'DatabaseOperations' object has no attribute
'geo_db_type'.
We set-up database routers for the PostGIS models to use the proper
connection, but the check framework seems to ignore them.

I can try to create a PR, though I'm not sure where to start. Specifically
my questions are:
* What tests case file should I extend with a regression tests? The
`tests/multiple_database` doesn't test any system checks at all.
`tests/system_check` could be a candidate but I need a multiple database
set-up and it doesn't feel right to change that test app. Should I better
create a new test app for this use case?
* I think `Field._check_backend_specific_checks` should be the place, only
that at that point it already uses connection and I'm not sure how can I
detect what connection should I use from the field instance (or the
associated model). Should I run the Database routing code to get the
connection alias? (seems a little gross to me)
Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
Ion
