The 'rel' argument currently required for Autocomplete widget
instantiation is a little confusing if you don't know a huge amount about
relationship field internals, and is also unnecessary, it would seem. It
looks as though the only reason for passing this, is that the model class
can be extracted from it. However, if used with `ModelChoiceField` and
`ModelMultipleChoiceField` (which is, currently, always the case), that is
available from the `self.choices` (a `ModelChoiceIterator`).

Comment:

Thanks for this proposition. However, we have several tickets about bugs
in `AutocompleteSelect` (see #29010 and #29138) and proposed
[https://github.com/django/django/pull/11026 solution] is changing
`db_field.rel` to `db_field` that is used more widely. I don't think we
can remove it.
