#5582: Default manager and model init methods should allow raw field name
arguments for foreign keys

I can do this --
{{{
profile = Profile(name='Example')
profile.user_id = 47
profile.save()
}}}
But not this --
{{{
profile = Profile(name='Example', user_id=47)
profile.save()
}}}
Also can't get_or_create, or do anything much with only user_id directly.
Apparently I need to instantiate a User object just for the sake of it(?)
Turns out either a big overhead (50+ extra queries on this particular
page!) -or- a bunch of unnecessary code.
More importantly though, it seems at least a bit confusing and
inconsistent, that I can access it by attribute but not by argument.
Surely it would be easy enough to allow fieldname_id as init/filter
arguments on foreign keys. If anyone else agrees, I'll run up the patch?
