Django 1.11 to 2.2 codemods.

Description

Hello @browniebroke thanks for this project it looks promising! I believe it can greatly accelerate the speed of adoptions of newly released versions of Django.

I was wondering if you'd be interested in receiving contributions for migration to versions between Django 1.11 LTS and 2.2 LTS. Even if these versions are not supported anymore I think it could be of interest to a lot of developers who are still in the process of upgrading.

I currently work for a company that is the process of doing so and also has a few Django 1.9/1.10 deprecation warnings that need to be addressed on a large project. Since we'll have to automate the process anyway I was wondering if you'd be interested in receiving contributions for these versions as well.

Yes, I would definitely accept these contributions for these. We are running 2.2 at work, so earlier versions were not my primary use case, hence I focused on 3.0+.

I think it makes to support at least from 1.11 which has just gone out of support and I assume lot of people are still using.

Many older fixers can be found and imported from https://github.com/pakal/django-compat-patcher

I created https://github.com/pakal/django-compat-patcher/issues/12 about potentially sharing metadata between the two projects.
