Accepting in general, patch needs tests though.

Updated patch to 1.6+ removed one previous unused test also. Tested and works under 2.X and 3.X

I left comments for improvement on PR. Please uncheck "Patch needs improvement" when you update it, thanks.

Rebased and tried to fulfil the comments: ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/5046

I didn't put too much effort in new functionalities, as this is wrapping the legacy GeoIP databases and it should anyway be somewhen rewritten to use the geoip2 python library. But this is out-of-scope here and would deserve a new separate ticket.

Created #25184 to add support for GeoLite2. Any objection to closing this as "won't fix" and focusing our efforts on that ticket? I'd think once we support the new format, we could deprecate support for the legacy format anyway.
