Was hoping to play with this much sooner, but here is a quick hack for
horizon working with django 1.11

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/484277/

The main issues are with widgets from Django which are no longer there,
and all I've done is move them to our repo from django 1.10's code. This
is probably not a good long term solution.

Then django-babel doesn't yet have a version that has django 1.11
support, although the change has been merged to master. Just needs a new
release. For now a install from source works to test.

And... because it was easier, I did this off the patch that brings
openstack_auth into horizon. Because of some import order changes in
django (I assume), there was an issue due to an import that caused a
call to get_user_model before openstack_auth was fully loaded.

Beyond that, it all 'appears' to work. I launched some instances,
created some networks, changed my password, managed some projects and
users. There is tons to actually test, but mostly it just seems to work.
