Description

Right now, response.json() always decodes using utf-8.

​https://github.com/django/django/blob/8ba20d9071e9e1b8f2c81d4df977db4278342085/django/test/client.py#L646-L654

response._json = json.loads(response.content.decode(), **extra)

While this is frequently correct, the response may be any encoding. If it is a non-UTF-8 encoding, the content should be decoded as such.
