Passed site doesn't to SearchQuerySet(site=my_site) doesn't get transferred to xapian backend

Passed site doesn't to SearchQuerySet(site=my_site) doesn't get transferred to xapian backend.

If you do this in your view code:

   searchqueryset = SearchQuerySet(site=site)

That site that you have specified gets lost when using the xapian
backend by xapian_backend.py. xapian_backend ends up using the default
site instance from haystack.sites which might not be the one you want
to use. In my case, I've subclassed SearchSite in a custom class that
knows not to use the Django ORM.

This patch has two problems: 1) It's a patch that involves two
different projects and 2) I don't know how to add tests to prove it.
Current versions:

• django-haystack: (1, 1, 0, 'alpha')
• xapian-haystack: (1, 1, 1, 'beta')

If you apply the following change to xapian-haystack/
xapian_backend.py:

Then the site you pass when you create a SearchQuerySet instance gets
used in the xapian backend.
