Our custom UserLanguageMiddleware will become incopatible with upcoming Django releases.
Description of the change
Following the Django docs on the topic, I added the django.utils.deprecation.MiddlewareMixin so the middleware can be used with the old MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and the MIDDLEWARE settings.
Note You also need to deactivate audit_log.middleware.UserLoggingMiddleware because the latest version is not compatible with new-style middleware.
How someone else can test the change
In the settings, you could change all occurances of MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES to MIDDLEWARE and run the tests. This should fail on master but not on this branch.
When should this PR be merged
