Hi,

as promised I started working on an autocomplete field for 
`django.contrib.admin` as a more convenient alternative to `row_id_fields`.

We had a longer discussion in the ticket and also at the sprints at 
DjangoConEU with some of the maintainers for famous 3rd party autocomplete 
integrations.

We concluded that select2 is the most mature and stable solution, that also 
doesn't require us to write our own JS code. (I know how much we hate it ;)

Notable:
1. In order to use `jQuery.noConflict(true);` I hat to add a wrapper around 
the vendored Select2 library. I think that is better than leaving `jQuery` 
in the global namespace.
2. `$.select2` will only be added to `django.jQuery` and therefore not 
interfere with other implementations. One should still be able to use 3rd 
party libraries.
3. Select2 is unter MIT license.

All in all I tried not to break anything and have this as new opt in 
solution. Lets see how it plays out.

All I need for you is to decided on wether or not with should vendor 
Select2.

PR is here: https://github.com/django/django/pull/6385

Thanks in advance!
Joe
