I was thinking that I could use the `db` fixture to access a database connection object within a test. However, the `db` fixture returns None. This documentation update makes it clear that the `db` fixture does not return an object, and explains that users should use from `django.db import connection` instead. Reference: See [this comment](#338 (comment)) on issue #338.

Thanks. However, it could actually return the default connection maybe? |

Regardless of this, the change itself looks good. Thanks @christianmlong. |
