#35150: Logout no longer supports GET method

-----------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Problem: Following documentation, I tried using the LogoutView to logout
like I have in the past. Now that I'm using 5.0, it looks like things have
changed. It does not allow GET method calls.

Either we need to allow GET calls again or tutorial documentation needs
updated.

Documentation Code:
{{{
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
Hi {{ user.username }}!
<p><a href="{% url 'logout' %}" >Log Out</a></p>
{% else %}
<p>You are not logged in</p>
<a href="{% url 'login' %}">Log In</a>
{% endif %}
}}}

Code in question:

Comment (by Simon Charette):

Unsure which documentation code tutorial you are referring to
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/releases/4.1/#log-out-via-get but
the docs clearly mention how to upgrade].

What documentation are you referring to?
