#25839: RequestContext does not apply context processors [regression]

---------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Prior to Django 1.8 `django.template.RequestContext` always had the
context from all of the `TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` applied. In Django
1.8 this is no longer the case, which breaks the API. As this has neither
been announced nor documented anywhere I'd consider this a critical
regression.
The following view code no longer works with the default
`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` setting:
{{{
from django.template import RequestContext
def my_view(request):
context = RequestContext(request)
print context['user']
#...
}}}
Actually `user` should be put there by
`django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth`. It is also present in
templates rendered by `render()`, but not in `RequestContext`. Of course
this does not only apply to the `user` context variable, but to all
context variables set by context processors.
