Following [
https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/what-does-the-community-
think-to-carltons-take-on-auth-user/34672 the forum discussion here], add
a ''Profile How-To'' showing best practices for a profile model related to
the User model.
* Show a best-practice model — with decent name fields.
* Be clear to tell folks that the existing `first_name`/`last_name` fields
are outdated (at best) and say it’s OK to just ignore them.
* Show creating the profile instance — with a signal, inline, or using
get_or_create()
* Give an introduction to template fragment caching.
