While using Postgres, models with a BinaryField fail to deepcopy, due to
Django returning these field values as `memoryview` objects. This causes
issues when creating instances in `setUpTestData()` during tests.
The specific errors seem to be fairly inconsistent and hard to reproduce.
But often the exception complains about a missing `_state` field, or that
`_state` has no attribute `db`.
I've currently worked around this by implementing a mixin for models where
the `__getstate__()` method converts any `memoryview`s to `bytes`. But I
don't know if that's the correct solution for Django generally.
