Tests that modify settings and render pages fail on Django 3+

[jerivas]

The test test_login_required is currently failing at the point where settings are overridden:

with override_settings(LOGIN_URL="login"):
    # Note: The "login" is a pattern name in accounts.urls.
    response = self.client.get(public_url, follow=True) # <------------------ Fails here
    self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
    response = self.client.get(private_url, follow=True)
    self.assertRedirects(response, login)

mezzanine/template/__init__.py:53: in render
    context[parts[-1]] = tag_func(*args, **kwargs)
mezzanine/twitter/templatetags/twitter_tags.py:63: in tweets_default
    query_type = settings.TWITTER_DEFAULT_QUERY_TYPE
mezzanine/conf/__init__.py:259: in __getattr__
    editable_cache = self._get_editable(request=self._current_request)
mezzanine/conf/__init__.py:163: in _get_editable
    editable_settings = self._editable_caches[request]
mezzanine/conf/__init__.py:254: in __getattr__
    return getattr(django_settings, name)
.tox/py39-dj30/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py:77: in __getattr__
    val = getattr(self._wrapped, name)
.tox/py39-dj30/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py:204: in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError
E   AttributeError

From my investigation it looks like when get is called the twitter_default tag is called somewhere in the template, which in turns reads from the settings, and that crashes the site witn an AttributeError for TWITTER_DEFAULT_QUERY_TYPE. It seems to me override_settings is breaking Mezzanine's editable settings machinery (specifically the _editable_caches mentioned in the traceback).
