*Instances* of `Model.DoesNotExist` are pickleable as fixed in #17776,
however, the class itself is not. This is particularly problematic when
using the Django test runner with the `--parallel` option enabled when a
`Model.DoesNotExist` exception is raised. The result of this is the test
runner bailing with a `pickle.PicklingError`, making it exceptionally
difficult to debug the cause of the `Model.DoesNotExist`.
