Inspired by https://gist.github.com/zenweasel/7495758 and
https://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2013/10/02/skipping-test-db-creation/,
`DiscoverRunner` could skip creating the test database if no
`TransactionTestCase` or its subclasses are used.
I'd suggest adding an attribute on the test classes such as
`_needs_database` rather than using `isinstance(test,
TransactionTestCase)` in those patches. This would allow compatibility in
case Django users have other classes using the database that don't inherit
from Django's classes (though I'm not aware of anyone doing this).
