Django 1.11.10 fixes a security issue and several bugs in 1.11.9.

## CVE-2018-6188: Information leakage in `AuthenticationForm`

A regression in Django 1.11.8 made `AuthenticationForm` run its `confirm_login_allowed()` method even if an incorrect password is entered. This can leak information about a user, depending on what messages `confirm_login_allowed()` raises. If `confirm_login_allowed()` isn’t overridden, an attacker enter an arbitrary username and see if that user has been set to `is_active=False`. If `confirm_login_allowed()` is overridden, more sensitive details could be leaked.

This issue is fixed with the caveat that `AuthenticationForm` can no longer raise the “This account is inactive.” error if the authentication backend rejects inactive users (the default authentication backend, `ModelBackend`, has done that since Django 1.10). This issue will be revisited for Django 2.1 as a fix to address the caveat will likely be too invasive for inclusion in older versions.

## Bugfixes

- Fixed incorrect foreign key nullification if a model has two foreign keys to the same model and a target model is deleted (#29016).

- Fixed a regression where `contrib.auth.authenticate()` crashes if an authentication backend doesn’t accept `request` and a later one does (#29071).

- Fixed crash when entering an invalid uuid in `ModelAdmin.raw_id_fields` (#29094).
