`BaseDatabaseSchemaEditor._alter_field()`
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/895f28f9cbed817c00ab68770433170d83132d90/django/db/backends/base/schema.py#L572-L582
does a lookup for foreign key constraints] even if the database doesn't
support them, resulting in test failures like this:
{{{
======================================================================
ERROR: test_alter_field_fk_keeps_index (schema.tests.SchemaTests)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/tim/code/django/tests/schema/tests.py", line 990, in
test_alter_field_fk_keeps_index
editor.alter_field(Book, old_field, new_field, strict=True)

548, in _alter_field
old_field.column,
ValueError: Found wrong number (0) of foreign key constraints for
schema_book.author_id
}}}
This is a problem only when the argument `strict=True` is used (which I
believe is only in tests).
To fix this, `self.connection.features.supports_foreign_keys` should be
consulted.
