Populate django.conf.settings

[jayvdb]

https://github.com/idlesign/django-siteprefs/issues/16 looks to support third-party apps. The easiest group is those which read from django.conf.settings.

After siteprefs is finished loading the overrides, it could populate any missing values in django.conf.settings. Ideally it populates them with proxies clearly identified as duplicates of the overrides, so that they are not accidentally used again if reloading foo.settings.

This also helps with interoperability with other tools, such as

• django-extensions cmd print_settings , which looks only in django.conf.settings
• django-settings-context-processor is nice and simple, and fairly secure, but it doesnt work with siteprefs because it only looks in django.conf.settings

Messing with django.conf.settings can be disastrous. Need to be very careful, and to apply patching only on demand.

Ya, my WIP needs "only on demand" added. It is only a POC to get the ball rolling.
