Currently, `bulk_update()` function from `django.db.models.query` only
performs the update using the primary key field..
I think we can generalize it more to use a unique field..
Example: `MyModel.objects.bulk_update(objs, fields=["name"],
unique_field="national_id")`
This will use `MyModel.national_id` to identify objects since
`national_id` is unique.
I wrote the code for it and I thought to contribute it to Django..
I also have a question about that function, we can't use it to update
primary keys.. I'm wondering why ? I want to also add that support to it.
Note: I'm not really sure what to do to reserve the implementation for me.
I want to be the one to implement it, actually, I already wrote the code.
