I often find myself needing to add extra attributes to subwdiget HTML
elements that depend on the model instance object. For example, HTML
`data-*` attributes.
Others have had similar needs and created their own solutions. For
example: <http://srcmvn.com/blog/2013/01/15/django-advanced-model-choice-
field/>.
As this isn't built-in, there have been some backward incompatible changes
on some releases: #27758.
This ticket proposes to make this feature built-in to remove the need for
third party applications to copy this boilerplate.

Right now, the `ModelChoiceField.iterator` and `ModelChoiceIterator aren't
documented. We could take this opportunity to do so if desired.
