Comment (by Tanishq):
Fixes #36239: Prevents `AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute
'_meta'` in `ManyToManyField` when `to` is invalid with
`through`/`through_fields`.
- **Issue**: The validation framework assumed `related_model` was always
resolved, causing a crash when it remained a string.
- **Fix**: If `related_model` is a string, we handle it gracefully in
`_check_relationship_model`.
- **Test**: Added test in `tests/model_fields/tests.py` to confirm
expected error messages (`E300`, `E339`).
- **Impact**: Prevents crashes and ensures Django correctly raises
validation errors instead.
