Essentially all the work of `AuthenticationMiddleware` is done by
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/b387189d86aa6f0b8dd5e9ff2facb725e6beb7a9/django/contrib/auth/__init__.py#L172
django.contrib.auth.get_user()]. For anyone who wants to customize this
behavior (for example, fetching users on some requests but not others),
then, this function is very helpful. It deals properly with error
conditions and edge cases, and is what implements
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/default/#session-
invalidation-on-password-change session invalidation on password change].
For that reason, I think this function should be documented and become a
first-class part of the API.
