The GeoDjango tutorial
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/gis/tutorial/) still
instructs to create a db using the spatial template.
Since PostgresSQL 9.1, the preferred way is to use the `postgis` extension
instead.
This brings up another issue: should `makemigrations` automatically add a
`CreateExtension` operation? Is that even doable?
For now I've simply documented it, but it would be very handy to have it
automatically.
