Running tests with maintenance mode on

[Michal Dabski]

Issue: I found that running tests while maintenance mode was on failed a lot of tests because all views responded with 503.

Expected behaviour: I would expect that global maintenance mode does not affect test environment and tests run in isolation.

Example use case: Running tests in production to check whether it is deployed correctly before opening the site to public use.

Suggestion: Perhaps make it configurable with a MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_TEST which would disable maintenance mode behaviour while running tests?

@mick88 could you try this solution in middleware.py?

Added support to settings.MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_TEST with 0.5.0 version.
