Fairly often, I find myself writing code which needs a `Site` and which,
as a general best practice, falls back to `RequestSite` if `contrib.sites`
isn't installed. Which means writing this code, or something like it, over
and over:
{{{
from django.contrib.sites.models import RequestSite
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
if Site._meta.installed:
site = Site.objects.get_current()
else:
site = RequestSite(some_request_object)
}}}
Given how common this idiom will be for code which wants to properly
support the `RequestSite` fallback, it'd be nice to just have a utility
method somewhere in `contrib.sites` which could just take an `HttpRequest`
object and return either a `Site` or a `RequestSite` as appropriate.
