RandomCharField - Prepopulates random character string.

[dpetzold]

Hello,

I added support for a random character field. Its purpose is to create an unique id unrelated to the database id to prevent site walking and sequential attacks on something like a unsubscribe link. A sample use case would be a link shortening service like bit.ly, http://bit.ly/1AbL4UC.

Non-Breaking changes:

• Factored out query logic to ensure uniqueness to BaseUniqueField.
• The field value factories have been moved to generators.
• Added mock as a test requirement.

Possibly breaking change:

• The slug field check will only be tried 100 times. Previously there was no limit. That was done because the field value factories have been moved to a generators.

Please let me know your comments and feedback. I enjoyed working on this code very much!

Could you please take a look at why the tests are failing ?
(Sorry I don't have the time right now to dive into this)

[dpetzold]

Its from this

ValidationError: [u'The verbose_name of random char test model lower alpha digits is longer than 39 characters']

I'll fix and try to increase coverage.
