The old architecture used exceptions in the signal handler
which prevented transactions from running smoothly
and signal handlers from running after Axes handlers.
The new architecture changes the request approach to request flagging
and moves the exception handling into the middleware call method.
This allows users to more flexibly run their own signal handlers
and optionally use the Axes middleware if they want to do so.

AXES_ENABLED = False can be used to toggle
the plugin off in tests which use the built-in
Django test client login, force_login and logout
methods which do not supply a request views.
Fixes#433
In order to offer backwards compatible import path for the
axes.utils.reset function it has to have a separate
implementation that can be imported independently from
the axes.helpers functions that are used by the
AxesBaseHandler implementation.

Fixes#389
Remove monkey-patching from the application loader phase
and use the Django authentication stack for lockout signals.
Utilize custom AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS and MIDDLEWARE with signals
with backwards compatible implementation of features.
Update documentation, configuration and migration instructions
to match the new configuration and improve the code commentation.
